yeah walk 2 my stand from my house the other day and i got into the woods walked about 5 minutes and realized i forgot my side arm pistol i usually have with me i have forgotten it before and not gone back what reminded me was a the large black bear walking across the trial in front of me. he got kind of curious and walked right at me i had an arrow loaded but i grabbed the 1st thing i had on my pocket an apple and tossed it at him hind sight this could of been a bad idea but it hit the bear on the head he turns and runs away and i walked back and got my hand gun needless to say.

I have walked into my wilderness hunting area, climbed into my stand and realize I left my bow release back at the truck. Try shooting a bow set up with loop with fingers, lol. Just wait it gets better, your mind will have more knowledge and better filing capabilities as you age. Soon you'll be able to remember so much more, where you put the car keys, where you put that new feeder motor and all those oh so important anniversaries.

buddy you got to get your stuff together the night before or it's trouble!

I am pretty good to forget stuff like something to eat!

I once left for a week long hunting trip and forgot to pack any socks or underwear. Luckily, Walmart was on the way!

I'm real bad to forget the obvious, like my rifle. I'm so busy trying to remember all the little details, I seem to overlook the biggies---the things that are so important that nobody in their right mind would forget them. Oh, well, my wife has been making comments about my mental condition for years, and I haven't left anything so far behind that I couldn't go back and get it.

I fogot my bullets last afternoon of deer season last year. Went back got the bullets and when I got to my farm I noticed I was out of gas in the truck. I walked to the first stand I came to frustrated. I was back down with in ten minutes after shooting a 8 point and a doe. Called my wife and she and our son came to "help me find the doe" and also brought me 5 gallons of gas to get home on.

I hunt quite a bit, so decades ago got tired of forgetting things and put together check lists, typed and prioritized. I have them for every type of trip, Africa by climate and country. Even for a 10 day pack train trip for elk in the Rockies entitled "When In Doubt, Leave It Out". I even pack my duffle bag in listed order, my discipline is never more than one duffle bag.
Life got a whole lot easier and certainly less embarrassing

once I forgot my boyfriend does that count?

i have forgotten my knife, hunting license, and water so far this year. Luckily I only made it over 5min from the house once. One time a few years back I forgot my release for my bow...that sucked.

It was raining on opening day many years ago,and I took my gun in to wipe it down.

I was to meet a prearranged huntin' party early the next morning after breakfast. Just as everyone was getting ready,I realized I left my gun at home,and forgot to place it back in the truck ...

Over the years I have simplified my life. I go to the woods with just my bow and arrows. Nothing more. Wouldn't you know it I have forgotten one or the other.
