Was out hunting this week and to say it was the most eventful hunt ever for me is pretty accurate.Did not get anything but had a few laughs,skunks that would not get off the road to the mangement area (they run at 3kph).Raccons that walk past me and pretend I dont exist and the best of all...
Sitting on the edge of a field from sunrise until 1030 and I had to piss. Stood up took a look around did not see anything moving,set my rifle on my chair turned to the bush to put my back to the wind freed willy and caught movement out of the corner of my eye,there was a basketcase buck trotting across the field just ten steps from the bushline and less than 100 yards from me, he had come from the far side (150yds) as if I wasnt there went into the bush and even after crossing my scent trail just kept going on his merry way.
I just stood there and laughed, thinking damn, got the wrong gun in my hands.
 
Its really ####ty when your sitting on a ditch bank put your bow down stand up unzip your main coat to unzip your bibs to unzip your jeans turn around and let go only to see a doe standing at the bottom of the creek looking up at you. With a slightly higher arch I could have pissed on her. Couldn't do nothing but smile like an idiot as she bounced away
 
This is Murphy's law... I believe it happened to every single hunter... :)) was just laughing about that yesterday in the duck blind with my buddy...
 
General rule in the duck blind.....When one of us has to have a pee (light a smoke or whatever) everyone else gets ready 'cause them ducks are about to show up!
 
Absolutely. If there is nothing on the horizon ... light a smoke or take a wizz - you're buddies will thank you. The moment you set the gun down and have your hands busy, you'll see exatly what you've been waiting on.
 
Dammit!! So I'm sitting in front of my gooose decoys as I type. A couple groups flying by nothing coming within range. Then nothing for 30min so I decide to get up and check a dozen ducks decoys I threw in a flooded ditch about 40 yards in the opposite direction. Well, before walking across a trail to the ducks I stop and look right: nothing. Left: nothing. Up: a dozen geese no more than 20 yards straight up and booking it right past me. Came from directly behind me, so right over my goose spread...
Get back to my geese, start typing here, and half way through I look up and see 2 turkeys walking right past my spread... With my luck ill hit a deer with the car on my way home!
 
Same with fishing, hang your lure out the side to have a whizzzzzzzz and the
tip of your fishing rod starts to bounce.
The gun shop in Kelowna has/had a picture out front posted
"Priorities"
There is a hunter with his lower attire around his knees having a number two
and out comes a big buck.
He is standing there butt arse out in a shooting position.
Pretty priceless.

Glad to see you laugh and actually enjoyed seeing the buck give you the finger.
I was once at the top of a gentle hill in the bush, open down hill from me and lots of deer tracks in the bit of snow. I was sitting on a log, just right hieght, with fairly heavy bush behind me.
It was just breaking shootable daylight. Below me, near where I expected to see a deer, I heard a twig snap. All eyes searching now, should come out any minute, but all was quiet and serene.
About fifteen minutes later came the loudest, sharpest snort/bark from a deer that I have ever heard, from behind me! I think I jumped right in the air and swung around to where the snort came from, just in time to see a huge whitetail flag, disappearing into the heavy bush.
I too, laughed right out loud.
He had come up behind me, seen or smelled me and could have just faded away and I would never have known he was there. But no, he had to rub it in, let me know he fooled me.
 
lol that sucks, but happens so much :p
Or get up to leave and bam hear one sense you and jet!

I guess kind of related, but a group hunting like a 15min drive from us that we know earlier this month had a few wacky events with some of the 13(I think) deer they got.

One of their guys started to take a dump beside his stand. While his pants were hanging 3 does popped up not too far away. Luckily had the gun loaded near him, shot all 3.. with a bolt action and his pants hanging. All 3 dead. Lucky bastard. Laugh2
 
Hah, you'all sparked a memory.
Not to many moooons ago, meself and that gun powder feller.........yep H4831 were
out scout'in about on the atv's. Some may remember the post where he was caught
play'in in the mud puddles.
Anywho, he made mention not much game in this area??
Fast forward a few months and on that same trail, one muley, three white tails,
a black bear and a cow moose.
Just never know how the cards are going to fall or what kind of mood Murphy is
going to be in................. :)
 
you guys might get a laugh out of my story.

I invited a young lady to go hunting with me one day. She seemed interested in hunting, and ......other things.
So we headed out to one of my hunting areas. When we got there, the wind was bruuuutall!
It was -20 ish. and a steady 5-10mph wind. The wind was like a knife!
We drove around a while, and I descided to try a rattling set up. When we got out of the vehicle, she quickly realised she wasnt dressed for the cold.
So I made the best of it.

I drove the truck down a back trail in a remote area.
Told her to stay in the vehicle.
I got out of the vehicle, and set my rifle on the hood of the truck.
Pulled out my rattling antlers and started rattling.
blew on my grunt call, and stomped my feet to simulate two bucks fighting.
About three to five minutes of this passed, and I glanced over to the lady in my truck. I then realized how silly I must have looked to someone who never seen this stuff or hunted before. LOL!

I felt a little silly for a few seconds, and continued to rattle for a minute or so.
Suddenly I felt the NNNEEED to pee, The cold wind was cutting, and it increased the NNNEEED! LOL! So I turned my back to the lady and procceeded to complete my suddenly required task.

Half way through the deed, and you guessed it! I felt like something was behind me!
Without stopping, I looked over my shoulder and there was a nice 4X4, just 30-40 yards on the other side of the truck! OOOO DAMM!!
I just stopped peeing,(nothing else!) turned shouldered the rifle, stepped to one side, and shot the buck.
Then calmly put my rifle back on the truck hood,opened the bolt, put the empty cartridge in my pocket, turned back, and finished my .........uhhh task!

The lady got out of the truck and asked me, is it always this easy!? LOL! I aint making a single thing up!

I went from feeling like a silly novice standing in front of a lady I dont really know very well, to feeling like a seasoned professional way better than I am! All in a few seconds! LoL!

That was a VERY successful rattling sequence! HEH!!
 
Soooooooooooo, how the heck did you turn the tap off?
Or didja just, you know, continue to diddle?
I figured the story was going to end with the gal replying to the grunts.
I hear Tim Allen, hehe.
