I thought y'all might get a kick out of this. I spent all day sunday in Ohio wearing a long sleeve shirt as pants. When I packed Saturday night, I grabbed the shirt thinking it was pants So when I pulled in, the only "bottoms" I had were the set of light weight polartecs that I'd worn over and a set of light weight Xscent baselayes, NO warm camo pants to wear. Well I toughed it out, wore the shirt as pants (and it fit surprisingly well) and froze all morning(30 & frosty) until the sun came up. Even then, thru out the day I'd get a little chilly cause there was a pretty steady breeze. I could have only imagined the "hero" shots if I'd shot one.
The picture I'm getting in my mind is ......I better not say it lest the mods get uptight. You gott post a pic of this !!!!
Ya had to bring that one up huh? Well.... Odds are that during an all day sit, I'm going to have to climb down the tree once. I had really hoped to stick it out, but around 2:00, it wasn't urgent, but I knew I couldn't last to 6:00. So 230 ish I get down and sneak off to the direction of least impact to turn into a toxic waste site. As I got about 30-40 yds from my tree, I bumped what I thought looked to be a pretty nice buck about 150 yds away. Whether or not it was actually a shooter, I don't know, but that was a mini sack punch of itself. And no, the neck hole thing doesn't work out real good, or at least I wasn't going to attempt it. :D
Didn't you leave your straps at home 1 time? I thought that's what I heard anyway:D But a shirt instead of pants
I had my base layer bottoms on. I usually don't wear my outer layers in the truck. They go on at my destination. Yes, one time I forgot my treestand strap at home and it cost me a nice buck. He hit the scrape I was to be sitting over.
Man, and I thought I was being all hardcore eating cold Chef Boyardee out of the can yesterday. No pants in 30 degree weather? Rybo, you da man!
Ryan I am not sure if this falls under... Thanks for sharing or some things are better left unsaid. LOL Much colder and we wouldn't be calling you Rybo anymore... it would be BB cause you froze your nads. Throw a pair of jeans in your truck or better yet wear them for lordy sakes !! Can you imagine the story some Ohioan would have if he had seen you hunting. It would start out something like this... Boys, (burp) you aren't going to believe this ( buuurrrrpppp ) but those Pa hunters ( dammit where's my beer ) are fricken nuts. I seen this guy... well at first I thought he was doing a hand stand walking on his hands and had his head sticking out of his ass( everyone laughs in the bar )... but then I put the beer down, closed one eye and seen he had boots on and was walking normal like.... damned if he wasn't wearing a shirt for pants !! ROFL Tim
One of THE funniest posts I've read on here yet. I love it! We must see pictures though. I thought I was being genius donning a Batman cape while elk hunting on Halloween. Full camo, loaded rifle and just enough wind to make the cape fly behind me. It was awesome. Although if there was a doubt before, there isn't a hint of one in my dad's mind that I'm crazy.
