Gotta love the guys with the double trekkers with the bow strapped to the pack.

“The wind switched at the last second”
“Just needed him to take one more step”

Haha those two happened to me this year.

Forgot to chamber a round

My brother and I watched my friend do this on a five point and then, after the “click,” the bull walked into the woods before he could actually chamber a round.

Everyone knows you can't start hunting until you're #5milesdeep anyway......

If you’re not 5 miles deep on a solo bivy hunt with your kuiu cloths, UL tipi shelter, and SG pack you ain’t legit!

Figured I'd eat half a sammie before glassing, then I heard them leaving.

One you don't hear anymore;
He jumped the string,
Arrow clipped a branch,
Thay don't call them Flinch Locks for nothing,

Not necessarily an almost got him, but the guy who shoots a typical 2.5yr basket rack buck. "But he's got a big body"

Same body as every other 2.5yr old.

Shoot what you want, no need to try and make excuses for it.

My buddy missed a 5x5 this year, with two misfires from a muzzy. So..."powder was wet" was the excuse

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.
