Hunting two years ago in a ladder stand over looking a food plot.. A big doe and two yearling's come out one of the yearling's was a piebald,, I drop the doe at 150 yards the proceed to shoot at the piebald 6 more times as it danced around the field never cut a hair..I think that little deer was a ghost..lol

Last year I was sitting at the base of a large pine. The woods were still and no sound. I must have been sitting for about an hour.... felt a little gas bubble and let it rip... I spooked 2 doe that were bedded down behind the tree I was sitting at.

I had to fart (thought it was going to be quiet) and it squeaked out loud, spoked the doe underneath me (didn't know she was there) then she spooked about 6 others including a nice 6 pointer I didn't see yet.... Stupid roller food at the gas station!

Last day out last season I hadn't seen anything. Just as I was about to get out of the scan I saw a buck about 60 yards away. His shoulder was between two trees with his head sticking out past the one to the right. I figure I'd either get a clean shot above his shoulder or hit a tree. I hit a tree.

What made it worse was the deer didn't run off. He turned looked right at me and then slowly walked away. **** that deer.

My hunting fail:

I specialize in squirrel hunting (I know, how much brain power does squirrel hunting take). Got this bright idea to make my own game tote, so I took a carabiner and some small cord and made it so I could hook to my belt and run the squirrels head through a loop in the cord. Dang thing was the best thing since sliced bread until I strapped a squirrel on that was only playing dead. Critter was doing the 100yd dash 6in. or so at a time up and down my side, all the while trying to bite. Some carabiners have this little tooth inwhich I haven't a clue why it's there that makes it impossible to detach quickly in an emergancy. Ended up beating the squirrel to death still attached to my belt with the butt of my .22. At the end of it there was blood everywhere, none of which was mine, sever bruising from missing the squirrel with the rifle stock, bruising was mine, and out of breath with eyes as big as pie plates.

Game tote redesign was quickly made, got the 10yr old boy to test it for a couple weeks before I would strap it on. He either did OK with it or was smart enough not to say anything if he made the same mistake I did.

Second time I ever went squirrel hunting I sit down and I heard what sounded like a squirrel hauling ass and he/she jumps up on this downed tree that was maybe 10 yards away from me. My buddy had just walked off maybe 5 minutes before. I see this squirrel and I start unloading on his furry ass. BOOM BOOM BOOM! The damn thing was a Neo-Squirrel from Squirrely Matrix. I just about cut that tree in half and didn't hit any ****. My buddy came back and was like, "How many squirrels did you just kill?!?!"...
