buddy forgets ammo at home after driving 4 hours

epps is only an hour from his house but he also likes to only shoot his handloads,i had a buddy sight in his 348 off his truck only to drive away while ammo was on the tailgate. he hunted with a shotgun for the rest of the week.
 
When it comes that close to going on a long distance hunting trip, me wallet, truck keys, rifle (s) quad keys
and the rest of it are all in one big frick'in pile.
The Looky shop on the floor.
I ain't going anywhere until the pile resolves to concrete.
Yup, and the list is written and checked off one by one.
Last trip, half the herd came with me, lock, stock, barrel and ammo.
Neighbours got B&E'd so my girls came with me.
Live and lern.
 
yup beleive it or not hes taking a savage 110 ba. i asked him ,how the hell you gonna carry that ,he says three letters ,a-t-v.damn gun with scope is over 20lbs.
 
I always bring with me 2 set of truck keys, more than enough ammo, more than enough food, water.

But I also have my share of embarrassment. One day, on a short solo hunting trip in the mountain, after I left truck to check a cut block, I found that I did not bring the bolt action for my Zastava 9.3x62. My rifle was merely a iron tube!!

Wow that is not a NWO bush rifle. The ammo left at home was actually a sign from God.
 
Watched "Deer Hunter" lately?
DeNiro's character has a few choice word's with John Cazale's character about forgetting stuff
This thread brought it back immediately, LOL
 
I made that mistake once. Lol .300 weatherby ammo still in my safe and I'd arrived at my hunting spot 3 hours away. Luckily the guys on here were super helpful in finding a place close by that had some in stock.

It happens haha. But it sure only happens one time. That's enough to learn lol

Went shooting once, drove a good hour to my usual shooting pit. Get there set up about to start unloading on my targets then notice I forgot my trigger lock keys. That's a quick way to ruin your day.

I did the same thing a few years back. When other people are at the range watching you unpack, then pack it all back up and leave.....kinda embarrassing. After doing that I switched all my trigger locks to combination locks.

I've forgotten trigger keys before (one time). Now all my locks are keyed identically and there's a key on my keyring, in every gun case, and in the truck. I don't forget now, because if I'm driving, I have the keys.
 
I pack ammo/gun first. I also avoid trigger locks for anything but my restricteds as they are not required by law and a giant pain in the a$$.

Even used some punctuation!

A few capital letters and a break for a paragraph or two, and he'll maybe be able to write a resume that'll not get deep-sixed on the first filter through! :)

Yep, dealt with a few experiences of guys packing up their entire lives and leaving the ammo on the workbench! Two words. Camp Slut!

A guy I used to deer hunt with forgot his gun quite a few years ago when they went moose hunting.Didn't realize it till they were there (18 hours away).Lucky one of the other guys brought a spare rifle.
 
A friend of mine forgot his ammo one year. Luckily he was shooting .303 Brit. and a couple guys we ran into were kind enough to give him a couple rounds.
My brother has forgotten trigger lock keys/combo multiple times. I think he finally started listening to me when I'd tell him he doesn't need that crap anyway.:cool:
 
Life's frenetic pace causes screw ups. Always been forgetful so developed many fail safes. The single most important are my so-called idiot keys. Somewhere on the vehicle are a key set hidden away for the times the door shuts with the keys in the ignition or some such stupidity. Way better than smashing the window. Near sighted so back up glasses always stashed in glove box. And so on. These lessons were all learned the hard way. Enjoy your hunts gentlemen, particularly those of you normally city bound. My post levels will rise in the next few weeks as I live vicariously through this forum. House bound in the middle of a hunting paradise, the bush alive with grouse and the pup looking at me, ready to go. I should be ready to rock by the end of October. Until then you must put up with a larger than usual number of my inanities. I may even learn how to post photos properly full size instead of those thumbnails I always end up with. Good luck to all.
 
A few years ago, I went grouse hunting around my property. There was a 4-5 km long walk from the place I parked my truck to the property, so I took my CZ .22, grabbed my back pack and off I went. I was almost at my property when I noticed a grouse sitting in a tree about 15 meters off the trail. Easy head shot, I thought.... As I raised my rifle I realized that I left the magazine and the ammo in the rifle case inside the truck. Oh, #$^&.... f:P:2: So I put my back pack on the ground to mark the spot, hoping that the grouse will still be in the area when I get back. I had plenty of time for cursing on the way back.... :bangHead: When I got to the truck, I realized that I left the truck keys in the back pack....... f:P: Laugh2
