Back in 04 we were hunting in yahoo, me, my dad and bro in law. We went out to slough that Friday night when we arrived and put the decoys out and tied a pirogue in between two willow trees for my dad to sit in and me and bro in law were going to hunt out of the boat. The next morning the temp was in the 30's and we paddled up to the pirogue to drop my dad off. Little did we know the water had dropped several inches and the pirogue had gotten wedged between the trees end to end. Well when my pops stepped over in the pirogue it snapped in half and down he went waders and all. Wasn't funny then but it is now. He's pretty tough though we made him a fire in a coffee can and he hunted. Good times and good memorys

Back in 1998 or so, I had returned from a weekend in the Delta and as most of us do, layout all our stuff to dry - cleaning the boat, etc. Across the street, comes our new neighbors kid, he's about 6. He approaches and says, "Hey there Mr. my name is Candler." I replied to his greeting and we began chatting. At some point during our conversation, he says, "Hey, what's that man hanging upside down over there?" I turned around, and quickly realized he was referring to my waders I had hung to dry.

Back in the late 90's, around 430 AM I took a dump in the womens bathroom at the Shell truckstop in Hazen. Some woman busted in (obviously with NO sense of humor) on me. I managed to slip out the side door while herself, the manager, and 2 deputies go flying back down the hall to "investigate" :lol: :lol: :lol:

A couple years ago I had a life long friend of mine who wanted to go duck hunting. I told him prior to the season that I would be more than glad to take him and for him to get his stuff he needed ready (shells, proper choke restriction, liscense, patterning his gun, etc) before we went. Well I let him borrow some old waders and craziehunter and I took him hunting...... Well we got to the hole and I got out of the boat to put the dog stand on the tree....PAUSE.... ok before I go any further I must add that while preparing for the upcoming season (2 months prior), I had been telling him the dangers of waterfowl hunting and the hazard of possible drowning with waders, collisions with underground structures with the boat, etc...... PLAY..... well I step out of the boat in waist deep water and put the stand on the tree without securing the pin properly..... Well as I lean on the platform to give it a "weight test", the pin pops out and there I go completely under the water..... I had my wader belt cinched up tight so by the time I stood up, which might I add was a fraction of a second due to the fact that it was in the mid 20's, I didn't get that wet...... Well when I stood up I feel somebody grabbing me.... I start telling him "I'm good" and without hesitation he grabs my collar and the wader belt and hurl me over in the boat on my head..... When the excitement was over I said," what the hell are you doing!?".... Him breathing like he had just ran a 500 yards dash says," aww chit big dog I thought I was bout to lose you!"..... Lol thanks to craziehunter he had a few extra layers on so i bummed a pair of camo pants and a longsleeve and we shot ducks at daylight...... Good times with great friends! Took the same ol boy one day on another hunt and hadn't seen ANY ducks..... Bout that time I hear a lone drake whistling and started calling..... He dropped down and he shot about the time his wings cupped up..... I shouldered up about three second after his miss and folded him.... He started squealing, I got my first duck and it's a greenhead!..... I said you sure did buddy go get him! Prolly one of the best hunts just because I got to spend it with great friends and see the excitement on a buddies face!

About 15 years ago I was on a trip just outside of Yellowstone bow hunting elk.
Well I had talked a friend into going with me and the first day we rode horses for 6 hours getting to our camp. The chef/cook that we had with us forgot something so he and the outfitter left us and were going back and would come back that night. They told us that there were plenty of trout in the stream if we wanted to fish or we could hunt. I wanted Bullwinkle so I started getting my stuff ready. My friend agreed to hunt as well.
Backing up a little, when we were picking up our license we met the game warden and he ask where we were hunting and we told him. He ask if we knew that we were hunting the area with the largest grizzly numbers in Wyoming. My buddy didn't need to hear that and it made him a little skiddish being part of the food chain!
As we started to leave camp, he wanted to head back down the mountain on the trail the way we came in. I wanted to head up towards the tree line. Since we had radio's we decided to go our own way.
I had been walking for about an hour when my buddy called me on the radio.
"Where are ya? Why don't ya buggle so I can here ya."
I did...TWO BULLS ANSWERED! One was above me and the other was close to him.
He comes up with a plan for me to try and call the one in close to him and if we bust it, it may run over the other.
Made sence at the time. I started walking toward him and as I called, both bulls were answering the calls. I made my way to a vantage point overlooking a meadow. About the time i was expecting the monster walk out, I see my buddy walking out into the meadow. I lost it! WHAT ARE YOU DOING...then I see I had called up another group of hunters! :mrgreen:

This occurred while on a duck hunting trip but actually not in the woods so I am going for the "ask for forgiveness" approach.

Several years ago, I was staying by myself at The Cottage Inns (cheap dump) down in Tunica for a duck hunt the next morning at our place. [The "cottage" approach typically has two-room cottages with a door between the two adjoining rooms.] I went to bed at about 10:30 PM after a four hour drive there and was just good and asleep before my "neighbors" in the adjacent room rolled in before midnight after some serious partying. There appeared to be 4-5 males and a couple of ladies next door with all being of the darker persuasion. They were drunk as a skunk and loud as heck when they came in an continued their partying. I tried to fall back to sleep several times but the partying soon turned to fighting and all kinds of craziness broke out. There was yelling, screaming, pushing, shoving, and no telling what else. The door between the rooms was very light and you could see about an inch of light beneath the door so it sounded as if I was right there in the room with the neighbors. After someone was pushed up against the door and one of the "ladies" screamed, "I'm gunna scratch yo' %%$%###^%!! eyes out and beat you like a (&^85$! you ^!$@*()(&&^*%^%((!%!(# you @#$$%!*#", I decided it was time to lock and load my shotgun in case someone busted through the door. I lay there and tried to go back to sleep until about 4:30 AM and then just gave up and started packing while the fighting (with less people at that point) continued. After getting dressed and about to head out the door, I heard the fighting stop for a minute or two. Then the "making up" started between the remaining couple and it got crazy. As I loaded up my truck, there was all kinds of hollering and the bed and walls just about collapsed from whatever kind of freakiness they were into after a night of fighting. I left for the Blue and White while the headboard banging continued. Should have called their room several times later that morning after my hunt but was too exhausted to be that creative.

Ole Novocaine's son let slip on the opening day of the AR season the dolls freak him out. Yes, dolls, especially the ones where the eyes roll back in their head. This coming from a 19 y/o with a younger sister.
So, that afternoon, we made a walmart run and I picked up a creepy looking little pink doll. Stuck it in my blind bag for the next morning. The young man got out of the pit at some point to rearrange the decoys and we slid it into his blind bag. When he got back in the pit, Blackduck asked him for some of this hand warmers.
A freak out ensued, and he came out of that pit like an Olympic hurdler.
Best $10 I have spent at walmart in a long time.

I think he flat footed out of a 4ft pit! :D

Had a flock of ringneck dive bomb us in the river. We were all sitting on stumps when we went up for the shot. Ringnecks falling everywhere and dead one falling smacked my partner in the head and rolled him off the stump. We proped the ole boy back up on his stump and kept hunting.

Another one...
We were hauling booty back home in the boat and run thru a big flock of coots. We saw two coots smack each other as we went thru them and it knocked one of them out. We swung back around and picked up the knocked out coot. That night I put the knocked out coot inside my brothers waders. Funny as hell when that coot went flyin' thru the house when he tried to put his waders on the next moring.
