you didn’t hug hard enough.
It was a good sized tree lower down. I held on best I could, but I couldn’t get all the way around it, even where I started. I squeezed it hard enough to be scraped and bruised from my calves to my chin. It sucked.
I sat against the tree with my foot swelling until dark, so I didn’t screw up my friends hunt. When he came by, he found a stick long enough to nudge the top half loose, and he helped me gimp out of there. I gave him the brand new Summit climber on the spot. He used them all the time, and I was done with them!

I've never seen, much less killed, a turkey during a turkey hunt. Only tried for one season, but legit went to sleep ever single hunt.

I used to go rabbit hunting with a group of guys.One day a rabbit ran in a hollow log so I was going to cut a vine to twist him out.Knife slipped and I cut a gash in my left hand,when I looked at it the world went black and I fell over backwards and hit the ground.I didn’t totally pass out because I could hear them laughing.Mind you at this time I had been a nurse about 10 years,working ER and ICU.I had seen much worse but it was just on someone else.
Then, there a place that was pretty good hunting but it was across a creek.There was a huge tree that had fallen across the creek,probably 3 feet in diameter to walk across.Every damn time I would get 1/2 way across and I would lose my balance and fall in the water.It wasn’t very deep,just enough to go over my knee boots and fill them with water.
They seemed to want to go there often just so they could watch me fall in the water.They would all hustle across and stand there watching.I sure couldn’t make it across with them all watching.,especially since they would all be laughing knowing I was going to lose my balance.

I was up a hard-barked red oak and had the bottom fall out from under me once. Had to get my fat arse up on the top half of the stand and bear hug and reverse hump my way down.
That was 20 yrs ago, I now have responsibilities and mouths to feed and therefore no longer f with climbing stands nor lock-ons.

When I was 14, my Grandmother would let me drive my Grandaddy’s old 74 Bronco to Tensas Parish to hunt. My Father worked on the road, both my Grandfather and Grandpa had passed and I had no Uncles or brothers to take me.
Once after a late season deer hunt, which was after gun season closed, meaning I practically had all of Buckhorn to myself, I walked back to the Bronco at dark and prepared to drive home.
Almost to the blacktop, I went into a pretty bad hole and the tires slicked over. I got out, locked the hubs and put the truck in 4WD. Nothing, I couldn’t get out of the hole. I tried back and forth, but it wasn’t happening. By now it was dark and the closest house was at least two miles away. This was long before cell phones, so I struck out walking.
Once I finally made it to the small run down house, a nice lady came to the door and allowed me to use her phone. I called an older friend to come pull me out. When he arrived, he looked at the Bronco and said…that hole doesn’t look bad enough to keep the truck stuck. He jumped in, cranked it and drove it right out of the hole.
I was standing there stunned when he got out and as he walked past me headed to his truck replied…try putting it in 4WD next time.
I had failed to shift the truck into 4WD after locking the hubs.
What an idiot.

I have fallen into the water twice while fishing. Ruining a cell phone each time in the process. 1st time was with my nephew in Alabama and he was the only witness. 2nd time was here in Finland at a time when my friend and his wife were introducing me to their cute friend at a fishing pier. Needless to say that never went onto anything more than a meeting.
I fished there many times and usually there are only 2 or 3 others fishing, but for some reason that day there were about 50 people fishing. Pier was so tall I had to swim about 20 minutes around the pier to get back to the shore via the beach.

Was worried as hell to what my grandpa was gonna do to me. Finally walked back and told him and he followed me down there and couldn’t believe I killed that deer with squirrel shot. Loaded it onto the tractor and skinned it behind the shed. It was our little secret
That's what grandpa's are for
