It was 30+ years ago & hunting Pheasants with a friend & we pulled in to a farmers lane & up to the house to ask permission to hunt a ditch. I was driving so my friend got out & went up to front door to ask permission to hunt & he knocked on door & he did this very loudly as I could hear it all to way to where I was parked. As I sat there waiting for him, I saw a cat looking straight up in the air & what I saw was a Pheasant up in a tree about 20 feet above the cat. Well my friend came back to the truck & said no luck as no one was home. I said you want to see a Pheasant look at the cat then up. He did then grabbed his gun in a flash & shot the Pheasant right out of that tree & down came the bird & that cat ran straight for the barn, my friend then walked over picked up the bird & empty shell & said let's get the Hell out of here. All I could says is, You Think ! & what the F###.

About 8 years ago I took my otter stealth through #6 at OC past the rollers into #4 in the morning. By 9AM the wind was a constant 45+mph with gusts of 65mph. Big fluke migration day and birds decoyed nicely, shot my limit of 4 mallards and divers, then picked up the blocks. Wind was so strong I could hardly wade. Lets just say the trip back through the #6 bay in that tiny boat was a nightmare. If you're familiar with OC you know what Im talking about. 3ft rollers, I thought I was a goner so I pulled my waders off in anticipation. I had the ramp squared up about 400 yards off with the wind directly behind me, so I felt ok but my trolling motor caught a stump or something and turned me sideways. Got hit by a couple rollers and boat took on a lot of water and the nose end storage compartment filled, putting me nose down. I just cranked that trolling motor and got straight with the wind and was ready to bail, but barely made it to dry ground. Had to pull the boat along the downwind shoreline the rest of the way which wasn't much fun, but I made it. When I backed my pickup at the ramp, the wind was so strong that it hyperextended my door when I opened it and busted one of the pins. I made it out alive, but drove back home with a bungeed driver door and a log in my pants. Never did that again......

Junior year of high school I had a football game the friday night before opener duck. Ended up breaking my arm that game but thought it was just a deep bruise. Happened to be same arm I shoulder my gun with. Took one shot the next morning and had to put my gun away for the day never felt so much pain. Took me three more weeks before I went for a Xray.

Classic! I have a similar story, also from football my Junior year of high school. Got my left calf muscle pinched between the concrete on the sideline and a facemask getting slammed into the precise spot my leg was at. Facemask imprint through the sock, instant swelling, and purple from the get go. Couldn't put any weight on it so made a trip to the ER after the game. I burst the main blood vessel running through that part of my leg and split the calf muscle from top to bottom. Six hours later I found myself hobbling through a chiseled cornfield. Crutches werent working so hot, so i pitched them in the back of the truck. We shot some geese, but it sure was stupid. Pretty sure I extended the healing process about a month from wandering through those dirt clods for an hour..

Myself and my buddy wanted to hunt a duck spot. We didn't have access to any quads at the time. It was over a mile walk from where we had to park. Decided to take mountain bikes and drag our gear in a jet sled. I had 24 decoys on my back and my buddy was dragging the jet sled filled with all our gear. The trail was rough and kicking our asses. We had to ditch the bikes and hike the rest of the way. We were soaked in sweat when we got there. My buddy ended up falling over in the swamp and sunk the ammo bag. We only shot one duck that day. The whole hunt we couldn't stop thinking how the walk back is gonna suck.

Chesadore, I recall that day very clear lol

I'm tellin ya, not many boats had any business bein on that water let alone a stealth haha! I was having troubles with the 16'er in the wind/waves as well as the biggest decoy struggle anyone could ever ask for. And when we would shoot into a group of ducks that were sometimes only 10yards high and straight up, they would land at 30+yds from the boat and haulin the mail with the waves. Thigh deep water, with caps crashing over my waders made for a wet hunt..We shot just shy of a full 4 man limit that day and only due to our decision to head back to the ramp...with a 60mph straight line head wind, until I got to the channel then a f'ed up cross wind, it was interesting to say the least lol!

Hemmi, I believe your ole man called mine after seeing me in the waves as I was retrieving ducks... and his words were, "your gonna kill that boy, better go help him out"... 210lb hs senior in prime shape and the waves put a beating on me lol

One year a friend of mine when out duck hunting at the same place as my dad and uncles. I had no idea he had come out. But we all had gotten out there at midnight as this was opening day. Well we meet up with him about 10. We all had our bag limit of woodies at this point and I was beat. I found out he was ready to head out so I bummed a ride with him. At this point I did not know he had been out as early as we were. We were by Mondamin and I live in CB. So it is a fair drive. Well about 4 miles down the road I was out cold. I was woke up by a huge bump and metal grinding. He had fallen asleep at the wheel just before you get to the railroad overpass on I-29. He had gotten lucky and hit it just after we had gotten under it. Lets just say the last few miles home neither of us were tired.

I broke a bone in my elbow off playing football and only about two weeks after it happened, I was in the marsh trying to shoot teal with my brother, one handed. Not my finest moment lol, it was way to hard so I just called.

I was walking back to the truck one evening from bow hunting. I heard some noise in a small patch of weeds. I walked over there...nothing. I turned and started walking and thought, "What the heck was that?" Walked in there again and got sprayed by a skunk. Had to drive home in just my underwear and boots!!!! Now, I don't care who you are......that's funny AND stupid!!!

Here's another good one. I was shooting broad heads off the roof of my shop into the ground. I shoot a round, then climb down the ladder. I couldn't get one of the arrows out as it was wedged down in a root. It was very humid out and I couldn't get a good grip on it to pull it straight out. I went into the shop to get a rubber arrow puller. I pull on the arrow and it let go....with the nock buried into my shin. I pull it out and noticed a big hunk of meat hanging from the nock. I thought, "Oh well...not that big a deal." I go into the shop to spin the arrow to make sure it wasn't damaged. It was ok...start to go back out and holy crap....there is blood every where. I kinda think, "I might be in trouble." Go get my wife and we go to the ER. This Indian doctor looks at me and says, "The back end of an arrow can hurt also?" I bet they were laughing their butts off in the next room. Anyway, I was good to go.....now here is the kicker: I did the exact same thing about a week later...almost in the exact same spot. My wife says, "Come one. let's go to the ER." There was no way I was going back again. lol I started shooting into my deer target from then on!!!!

Here's one you won't believe. When I lived in Sioux City a Pilot I know who grew up on a farm was at a family gathering at the farm. He & his Brothers were going to play Horse Shoes so they got it out & went to put in the stakes instead of walking over & getting a hammer or sledge hammer they tried to pound it in with horse shoe this did not work so he thought he would try and sit on it the stake & this did not work, so he began to pound on it with his ass. He was wearing jeans & drove that stake right up his ass & had to have his brothers get him off it. He said he tried to walk it off & played a little bit of horse shoes then told his brothers he was going to have his wife take him to hospital as something did not feel right. When there he found out he tore his intestine & had to have surgery. My Wife comes home from work & tells me you never would guess what happened at work today as she is a Nurse at St Luke's & she tells me, & I tell her I know that guy & he's a Pilot.

Best one so far! That's just funny as hell!
