Nice. Sounds like an eventful trip. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that does stuff like that. Left my gator in the jeep one cold day last year...
It's strange how you can have everything right and not see anything. Then you can have a few problems and score. I guess that's why they call it huntingWent to a spot I hadn't hunted this year and was pleasantly surprised to find the two red oaks to the right of the tree i climbed raining acorns. Haven't seen may acorns this year and when I pulled up there were deer in the woods already. I had tried to help a woman jump her dead battery off at the ramp to no avail and was late getting in. I let the deer ease off and eased up the tree, only to realize I hadn't hooked my bow up to my rope . Went back down, went back up, waited 15-20 minutes and had three does come in. Shot the biggest one, but she turned out to be not that big, but I got some good meat off her.
