This is a good subject Cheap Shot.

The worst "drop" I ever had was on a cold wintery day I was muzzleloader hunting with the muzzleloader across my lap. There must have been a shift in the tectonic plates because I know it wasn't my fault but the muzzleloader just fell. The heavy barrel stuck straight into the ground and ruined my hunt for the day.

On a windy day of bowhunting I stood to look around and my foam seat cushion floated to the ground. Wind took it right out from under me. The next two hours were spent alternating leg position so my butt and legs would only fall asleep a lot.

it was a windy shotgun season. and the last day before dark. the bottom of my climber droped. it had no rope atttached so i had 2 beer hug the tree down form 30 ft.

My uncle and I were in a double stand and I had just got a doe and was about to go find her. My uncle dropped his rifle and it landed barrel first in about 3 feet of snow. I couldn't help laughing at him.

Gloves ... it is always my gloves. And always in the dark. I now carry two pairs, and sometimes drop one from each pair. Maybe I should get some yarn with clips and run it through my sleeves. Or carry three pairs.

Worst was when my pistol worked loose from its holster and fell, first clanging on the stand and then thumping on a tree stump. I must have turned ghost white.

How do you drop a boot?

I dropped my Primos ki-yi predator call from about 25 feet in the dark. Under the stand was an awful hobnob of vines, brush and ground cover. There was no finding it. Other than that I've managed to be really careful holding on to all the stuff while I get set up and eventually hang everything from screw in hooks.

I've also dropped just about everything from my stand over the years. Gloves,hats,arrows, etc. I now carry a large fishing treble hook with a small key ring attached in the eye of the hook. I've also smashed down the barbs of the hook. Now if I drop something I just tie the gear string to the key ring and lower the treble hook. Never failed yet.

I dropped myself out of a stand one time. Luckily, I was only 8 feet off the ground. Made me a believer on wearing my harness on the way up AND down.

i dont' carry too much into my stand so i have a pretty clean record of not dropping stuff.

I have ran over my bow with my truck on accident though, so that is worse than dropping just about anything i can think of.

Nice buck, cheap shot. Does your Remington use the # 11 caps or does it use the 209 primers? I bought mine as soon as it came out and have been thinking about the conversion kit.

I dropped my rattling bag out of my tree stand. I thought for sure the racket was enough to empty the woods, just to see a small four point stroll in looking for whatever made the noise. He was delicious :)

dropped my grunt call and doe bleat yesterday scared away a spike and 2 does

My frienda t school dropped his Balckberry phone. He never could find it either.

UPdate! Found the cell phone in a Jacket I RARELY Wear!

I've seen a large treble hook with the barb and points cut off and a strip of weight wrapped around the shank for tree stand fishing. this would be easy to make and a might be a good idea to carry for these dropped items.

No matter how hard you try, if you spend any amount of time hunting out of a climbing stand, you are going to drop things. That is just the way it is. Just try to be as careful as you can when moving things around in the stand and move slowly. The slower you move, the less dropping that will occur. The worst thing you could drop is your rifle. If you did that, the gun could fire and literally shoot you out of the stand. And, yes, there are documented stories of that very thing happening. As for me, I have been lucky. Every now and then I will drop a glove or a rifle shell. I just try to make sure that I am sitting and secure and that I do not drop myself out of the stand!

I have dropped a couple of Thermos bottles years ago when we could buy a replacement liner. Now with stainless steel bottles I just get down from my stand and pick it up. My son dropped a rifle from 16 feet (legal here in MN) and the scope was damaged. Guess I have picked up my cap and gloves many times from my 16 foot deer stand.

the first deer i shot i was so excited i picked up the radio to tell my dad and it went flying right to the ground, i usually drop that, oce dropped my phone, occasionly my hat flys off, and Bjohnston thanks for the laugh
