Boneheaded Blind Blunder

Just a public service announcement for any ground blind hunters.

Mind your muzzle when getting into position for a shot. Sometimes in the excitement of the moment it's easy to forget that what you see in the scope isn't exactly where your muzzle is.

I had a coyote sneak in during a mid day sit before work today and he was moving from my left to right behind some thick stuff. By the time he presented me with a shot I had swung a little too far to the right.

Well... I guess we have to be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes.

LOL, did that myself, with the crossbow! Tough to live down, but definitely a life lesson.

Make sure you tag it.

My buddy forgot to stick the barrel of his ML between the zipper opening on my blind and shot right thru the mesh..set it on fire and burned a rather large hole in the screen....HaHa...

Scars of battle...something to remind you of a successful hunt gone by. !!

……...but a least did you nail that coyote?

Opening day for deer abour 10 years ago i hit the hub right below the bottom of my window with the xbow. Blind came down on my head.

Unfortunately I didn't! My guess is the slug didn't fly overly true after going through the blind.

I’ve got three similar hits in my blind, all by new turkey hunters. I always watch that the muzzle is outside now. I’ve had to pull the window edge down on more than a few occasions so more holes aren’t shot through the blind!!

Talk about bonehead moves,picture two of us fishing out of a canoe with a cement can anchor. Buddy went to toss it overboard,slipped and dropped it and went right through the bottom of the old canoe. A more perfect hole couldn't have been made with a sawzall. We swam to shore that day. I don't know which was worse,getting soaked and losing our poles or the uproarious laughter from the cottage crew.

Oh now we’re talking bonehead moves

See two raccoons in the yard open safe grab semi auto get out side load up three 20gauge shells when the deed is done realize semi auto your holding is the 16 gauge. :/

Lol reminds me of the guys that try shooting across the box of their truck, putting rounds threw the other side of the box and cant figure out why they can't hit anything. Lol

YEP ! been there .....done that ! LOL ?

Lol! Here’s one for ya. I set up a target at 25 yards. I take 3 shots with my 1022 ruger using my atv seat as a rest. Missed the target with all three shots. I had this gun sighted in previously. So I put the gun down, lean on my seat looking towards the paper target. What do I see? A jagged hole in my kolpin gun boot where all three shots entered. BONE HEAD AWARD!!

I had a friend that shot a crossbow at a nice buck while sitting in a brush blind. He didn't realize that the one crossbow limb was almost up against a tree right next to him. When he shot the crossbow limbhit the tree, torqued the bow and fired him right out of the chair promptly providing a very sore face and jaw. Missed the buck too!

Dad towed another boat(35' cabin cruiser) back to the dock after they shot holes in their drive leg trying to kill a large Halibut they had hooked.

Nothing like floating around the North Pacific with no power and no heat..watching 8 to 10 other boats go by.

Guys figured that the other boats had seen them drifting along, and just stayed away to not crowd them.

Oh they lost the fish too.
