A comedy of errors.
Got to elk camp this year and found out all the bread I bought on sale went moldy. Then due to lack of sleep, erected my tent under a widow maker. When I loaded my piece for opening day, I discovered I was short some spare accoutrements I use to keep my load dry. Opening day nothing seen. Sunday morning well in pursuit, I needed to avail my self of the deep woods facilities. Turning around to fininsh my buisness, I discovered an audience. Mom and her yearling not liking my sudden attention tried a 180 about face but were delayed by copious dead fall. With my trousers bunched about my ankles I shouldered my rifle searching aim, but not before big mom made cover. The yearling delayed a fraction of a second too long. It's an absolute miracle I hit her and I can claim no skill in it at all. By the time I gathered myself up and realoaded and made my way across a maze of dead fall, she was already attracting flys. So I decided to forego the pack frame and tote her pieces back to camp on my shoulder. It was a foolish decision that carried parden the punn extensive consequences. Another elk with the Hawken cap-lock 2017. No pics, believe it or don't.
About the only thing I did right was to be in the woods with a tag and a weapon.

My thoughts are generally clear. My typing, not so much.

Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
I actually saw the largest deer of my life, right in the middle of a pee. Rifle was leaning against a tree. I was not as fast as you and he disappeared quicker than he appeared.
Ya should have seen the one that got away... :tooth::jester:
A large branch or tree that can fall on you unexpectedly.

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.... now who's bringing the hot wings? :jester:
Trick shots count, and there is meat in the freezer.
Large dead tree branch, tree or anything that can fall on you that you set your tent under.
Dan got it first.

Jeff, God save me from video. Much of my life is similar to what you've imagined. :tooth:
In the back of my mind I knew this could happen one day. Of course public facilities are more preferable if available.
which is why a 'cross chest' tactical sling makes such good sense for hunting. You can... keep your rifle handy while you have your gun out, if you get my drift.

A skirt wouldn't have these problems - just sayin'. :tooth:

If you're real good and it gets around, you will most likely get lucky more often.....:tooth:
