What would you do if you forgot....

A guy I went to school with drove 5 hours to duck hunt at the outer banks and left his gun at home.  Another time, the SAME GUY left the coast and on his way back home he realized about half way that he'd left his gun leaning against some brush where he was parked.  He had to turn right back around to go get it.  What a moron.

Luck counts, good or bad.

Perfect opportunity to buy another gun, your wife might not think so but I think in that situation that would be the best choice.

I'd drive back home and curse myself about every half mile along the way.
This is exactly what I would do. And no, I wouldn't go home and get it then turn back around. But, I'm not leaving home without my gun in the first place.

I said the same thing...  Started hunting at 9 years old, and I waterfowl hunt every weekend of the season....  Took me till I was 50 years old, but I finally forgot it.  Almost everyone I know has forgotten their gun...  Albeit, it generally happens only once, but it is a memorable lesson.

Maybe the alarm does not go off, or maybe there is some minor issue that delays you, and causes just a bit of a frantic panic to get out of the house.

As I mentioned before, now I hang my keys on the case....
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

Go get my gun...duh. Best hunting is after 9:00 anyway.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Let's say you drove 2 hours to where you hunt...just for the day...BUT your dumb butt forgot your shotgun and you didn't realize it till you got there.  Do you stay and go in the woods just for the experience,  give up and go home feeling stupid, or make a long trip to fetch your firearm wasting valuable time?  Asking for a friend's wife.   :popcorn:

I almost did this.... I would possibly try and borrow a shotgun nearby...or buy the cheapest shotgun known to man.. like a 100 dollar used break open (actually same as i hunt with anyway). or go home feeling stupid, and just get work done at home.
