Have you had any funny hunting fails???

I've left my release and range finder in the truck separate times, both seeing deer. Missed my first bow shot at an animal (hog) because I was too excited to range it and then later hit a piglet in the snout. It got away. Almost couldn't find a duck because It fell through an inch of ice on a pond. As for a win, I was in a shooting house, when I felt sick so I proceed to lose my breakfast about 50 yards away. Its loud. 10 minutes late I smoke two does

Hunted from dawn until mid afternoon didn't see a damn thing. Walk back to the truck and several deer are standing next to it.

Awesome.

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.
