What did you forget?

[NVBaldBeaver]

So not saying that you have, although Im sure we all have, but what is the one item that you have gotten into the backwoods and said, "Wow, I knew I forgot something?" or something you never thought you would need, and realized how nice it would have been if you brought.

I remember putting my gun in the case, tying it on my pack, loading up the llamas and packing 6 or 7 miles back in the rubys for a few days of buck hunting, it was just clearing up after an early oct snow storm, and the hiking was tough, early the next morning it was cold,clear, and perfect with 3 or 4 inches of fresh snow on the ground, Just before light I went to put a shell in the chamber and discovered there was no bolt, I had left it sitting on my bed back at home.

lol. My tag. I shot a deer and I went into my pack for my tag and it was not there. I had left it on the desk with my knife. lol

Last year I went Javelina hunting in Arizona and left my shells at home. Instead of the full boxes a shells I took two empty boxes of shells with just the brass in the box. I save brass for a friend to reload. Just took a walk til Walmart in Kingman opened and they didn't have any 270 shells!!!!!

Drove all the way to the Sheldon for my buddies deer hunt, and he had grabbed two empty boxes of shells.

I have had to turn around 50 miles from home to go back and get my tag.

I forgot my hunting boots one day while heading out to Bow hunt Roosevelt Elk. It was the last weekend of season so I decided I head out for the hike I had planned already. The problem is all I had was my flip flop sandles that I wore before changing into my hunting clothes. Anyway I hiked in around 4 miles and ending up killing a small bull. I was by myself so I quartered it up and packed it to the nearest road. Since this was walk in access only I packed one of the hind quarters to my truck and was getting ready to head into town to get my uncle's help. Only one problem I'd left my keys in my fanny pack back at the Elk! Back in for my keys and another hind quarter. The next day my right foot fealt like it was broken. Good news is if you look on my right wrist you'll see a bracelet, it's from the hospital, my wife and I had just had our second son two days before so luckily she had plenty of pain pills for my foot as she had a c-section.
