Top 10 reasons I did not fill my tag

[NMPaul]

Another post motivated me to create a new post.

Anyone feel free to add their own reasons.

I got a few to start with.

1. Texans (all you Texans I hope you know this is in fun)

2. I slept in.

3. Wolves

4. Sonic booms

5. My dog ate my bow

6. USO outfitters (are they even around anymore??)

7. Squirrels or squirrel hunters.

8. Chronic Wasting Disease.

9. Obama

10. I ate the mushrooms I found while hiking.

 

[NMelkhunter]

Someone stole my trail cam and I couldn't locate the bull I've been tracking all summer.

 

[NMPaul]

Couple more.

The governors tag holder shot him out from under me.

It is ELKMANS fault

I could not get a plane to fly my unit the day before my hunt.

[kimbersig]

That was Stinky's excuse.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-16-10 AT 06:47PM (MST)[p]...it's gonna be mine, too. That, and that stupid railrunner made my taxes go up so much that now I can't afford to hire stinky to be my guide... ;-)

 

[Gator]

I was hunting with Mozey and he had 1st shot.LOL yea right.

Paul how did you leave your release in the truck!?

and ya those dang californians ruin everything

and of course sent lock doesn't work! its the most sucessful propaganda in the hunting community!

 

[NMPaul]

Yes, I did leave my release in the truck several years ago.

I also had a bull talking to me during the same season and was working in on him.
I bugled, went about 100 yards and was getting ready to answer him and realized I left my bugle on a log.

The bugle was camo and it took me about 20 minutes to find it.

By then the bull lost interest in me.

The ex Californians are the worse.

 

[ELKMAN]

I just hope that the public huners of NM, can make the landoowners happy!

They have been so abused!

 

[fishfurlife]

I shot the only limb between me and that Big Nontypical.

 

[sportsman01]

Went left when I shoulda went right, stayed put when I shoulda moved, moved when I shoulda stayed put....son of a!

 

[fishfurlife]

I am embarrassed to admit that the moment of trueth was upon me once, and I too had left the release at the truck. Had the spare in my pack but it was way to late.

 

[nightstalker]

allergies almost took me out this year

20 yard pin is same color as 50 yard pin. Guess which one I used on the bull standing broadside at 25 yards.

 

[ELKMAN]

My "cough silencer" failed!

 

[NMPaul]

I high centered my 4 wheeler in some oak brush as I was putting the final stalk on my bull.
