Bad morning

[dman24]

Had one of the worst mornings I’ve ever had since I started hunting. Got in my stand about 615 ready to go. About 5 minutes before the sun came up to where you can start to see contacts in both eyes fell out. About two minutes later three deer came in and spooked from the movement of trying to get the contacts out of my eye lashes. Already back at the house now, can’t shoot what you can’t see.

It's ok, man....you weren't meant to harvest any of those.
Providence was saving your tag for the sixteen pointer that you get next time.

 

[Tailhunter]

I can honestly say that I’ve never had that happen before.

A bad day hunting beats a good day working every time.

 

[Geezer]

That had to be a strange and disappointing thing to happen. Next time put a drop of LockTite in each eye to prevent this from happening again.

DO NOT DO THIS!!! Locktite does NOT belong in the eye!!! Super Glue is the only way to go.....(just make sure to hold your eye open so you don't glue them shut)
Face it man, it wasn't your day to kill a deer, they conspired against you and won this battle, today only.....

Not Loctite, not Superglue... Staples!

You do that the deer will see you, just give up, and commit suicide.

 

[SPST]

Glasses?

 

[Mitch Rapp]

If you do go the Loctite route, use blue so you don't have to use a torch getting them out...

 

[REELDOC]

JB weld, do it right the first time

I've actually had this happen. Not both at once, but had my dominate eye lens come out while bow hunting. Can't exactly just switch shoulders with a bow! So I now carry an old pair of specs as part of my regular kit.

 

[Pogue]

Y’all are misleading this fella. Everyone knows that a few well placed claymore’s will suffice in an emergency “contact” situation....

 

[Button Pusher]

The deer will return and you did not fall out of the stand so it's not so bad a day.

 

[Ikarus1]

I have lost a lens out of my glasses while hunting. Now i wear contacts [emoji41]

 

[dman24]

Y’all crack me up. Hopefully this mornings adventure won’t ruin it for this afternoon.

 

[Jp8819]

Thats when you just pull out the hand grenade no need to see just get close might even get multiples.

 

[SilvrSRT10]

You people are all wrong. The only correct adhesive to use in this case is ........contact cement. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

 

[BowWow]

...a..something else to carry from now on!

A bad day hunting beats a good day working every time.

Not true. You do not know true frustration and anger until you accidentally drop your coverall galluses the emergency dump you just took.

Been there, did that.

 

[Gunbelt]

I dropped my bottle of 100 proof Schnapps out of my stand a couple times.

 

[SPST]

Well, my uncle fell out of his tree stand and it killed him! I guess there are some hunting days when you would have been better off staying home in bed?

 

[Button Pusher]

This guy almost bleed to death from his spear when it fell from the tree.

Thanks for the warning. Contacts are new for me and I do have them come out every once in a while. I’ll bring back up glasses!

 

[Grim]

Providence is making it home to hunt again another day. A hunter shot himself in a similar accident last spring in Four Oaks. You may have missed those deer, but you reacted appropriately and safely made it back home, that's what counts.

I climbed up the tree one morning. Got settled in. Everything was starting to get back to normal. Then my phone buzzed, my wife telling me to get home IIRC one kid violently ill and the other needed to get to school. Since she could not do both, I had to bail.
