Best “ALMOST GOT HIM” one liners

[Hunter4Life78]

I’ve made the mistake of bugling, not hearing anything, then decided to drop a deuce. Next thing I know my pants are around my ankles and a bull slips in 40 yards out.

Good times.

You have to say read this with the voice of Mr. Myagi going in your head.

I let Dinkshooter have a crack at him.

 

[Hunter4Life78]

I couldn't get the sling sticks to deploy..

If need be Google sling sticks ?stix? I think they still show up.

 

[Pucky Freak]

I’ve probably used half of them out there.

Failing light
No camo
Aimed at the wrong spot
Still using my stick bow
No rangefinder
It was as close as I could get without him spooking
Didn’t squeeze the trigger
Gun slung on my shoulder
Reverted to a bad habit

Truth is usually:
-Inadequate practice
-Poor execution
-Poor preparation
-Inadequate discipline/focus

This will always be one of my favorites even though a critter was taken.

"I bleeping bleeping shot the wrong bleeping elk. I bleeping bleeping bleeping bleeping can't bleeping believe it."

 

[MThuntr]

I couldn't get a shot...a truck turned down the road and we had to jump in before I could get a shot.

 

[greatwhitebuffalo]

I'm not very good at hunting.

 

[gouch]

I can' believe how many of these lines I have used over the years. The worst part is that they weren't excuses, they were reasons.

Day 5 - Me to self: "You've eliminated everywhere they aren't; only 43,026 square miles left for them to hide. Check mate."

 

[Gerald Martin]

Can’t believe, “I was hungover, had a headache and couldn’t get a solid rest over the side mirror” hasn’t been used yet.

 

[geetar]

Personal favorite....

Donna and Craig: think he's 3/4?

Ryan: looks good enough.

Craig: if it gets the slam dump the lamb.

Donna: BOOM

You forgot “ hang on while I turn this scope reticle sideways to measure. “

 

[Buschy]

Can’t believe, “I was hungover, had a headache and couldn’t get a solid rest over the side mirror” hasn’t been used yet.

Que up the classic Dinkshooter cigarette road hunting pic. Please tell me someone still has that filed away!

"No telling how far he got bumped"

"Hes on the decline"

 

[520 Road Sow]

Can’t believe, “I was hungover, had a headache and couldn’t get a solid rest over the side mirror” hasn’t been used yet.

Sounds like a rookie to me

 

[Dakotakid]

“ I forgot to turn down my scope”
Gets used by my brother so often l looked into getting stickers made for his scope covers and custom air fresheners for the truck that said that.

 

[noharleyyet]

New favorite all purpose . . .

 

[mdcrossbow]

He caught my wind !
I got winded !
Doe spooked him.
Blepping dogs,

 

[Northwoods]

My go to line, “hunting is hard”.

 

[NR_Hunter]

I can't believe nobody has said, "I must have hit a branch" in here yet.

 

[wisconsinteacher]

He's a good cull buck.
