Hope everyone's having a good time here!

I'd love to know, what’s one hunting mistake you’ll always remember? Maybe it was that moment your scope went busted, or you realized the boots you wore were totally wrong, or perhaps you spooked the game way too soon. I’d love to hear your stories. Let’s swap some lessons and have a good laugh along the way!
 
I’ve been out bow hunting for about 3hrs, just sitting in my stand, and honestly, it’s starting to feel like watching paint dry. I’m completely bored, so I pull out my phone and start playing this game, trying to keep it low-key and quiet.

I get so wrapped up in this game that I totally zoned out. Out of nowhere, I hear this snorting noise and there’s a deer right beneath me! I swear, I jumped like six"off the seat, dropped my phone (which just so happens to bounce off a couple of branches on the way down like a freaking pinball), and then I grab my bow… so fast that I nearly fling it off the stand.

Naturally, the deer freaks out and bolts like it just spotted Bigfoot. Meanwhile, my phone takes a nosedive into a pile of leaves below but somehow makes it out unscathed. Meanwhile, I’m up there, just trying to wrap my head around my life choices, feeling like I’m in the middle of an existential crisis.

After a good 20 minutes of scrambling down to retrieve my phone, I finally check it only to find my buddy has beat my high score. Great, right? Not only did I ruin my hunt, but I also lost at this ridiculous game.
 
Mine was simple. Made a big mistake trying to swing on a vine with backpack & rifle across a creek. Creek was only about 15’ wide so it seemed like a good idea. Creek was about 4’ deep which I learned when the vine broke.
