what did you loose this duck season

[keepcallin]

with the waterfowl forum slow i thought i would post something, so what did you loose this year, i didn't loose anything exept for a couple of decoy weights

[bux-n-dux]

I lost about 10 boxes of shells. Gained a pair of waders and a new hunting partner.

[Caninelaw]

Other then a couple of 12 gauge rounds that I dropped in the water I don't recall loosing anything this year. Found a lot of empty shells and trash left behind by others but even that wasn't as bad as some prior seasons.

I lost about 10 boxes of shells.
LMAO... I think I lost about the same...oh not to mention one cell phone and one camera after stepping off of a guide boat and into the bay...:confused:

The pullstart handle of my outboard into the salt pond while trying to start.

I also lost a couple of shells - dropped into the water. I 'mis-placed' my small binoculars. I thought they were somewhere in my pile of gear, but I can't find them.

db183 - sorry about the loss of your phone and camera. I soaked a video camera once at Tule. Lost a lot of good video.

Every year I donate at least 10 shells to the ponds, and I can count on losing at least one glove every year. This year I donated a mallard drake decoy to a finishing shot on a cripple. Kind of interesting to watch your decoy go from a rest position to a dabbler to a feeder to a submarine.... I patched up the holes, but have not given it a trial swim since.

Lost the remote for my Tri-Tronics Dog Collar...

- Note to self: ALWAYS wear the friggin lanyard that comes with the remote. :smiley_doh:

[chris_s]

lost the whole last month of the season due to school out of state.

[lewdogg21]

Lost opening weekend in Oregon due to my cousins need to get married on 10/10/10. Stupid.....


Lost all hunting but the middle 2 weeks of December due to no water and then flooded out. The biblical event also washed away probably 150 decoys, blind covers, etc. One of the weekends I was actually able to hunt I fell in chasing a cripple thanks to Mr. Tractor Driver who was out in the fields when they were too wet. Went from calf to thigh deep real fast and I went down, 2x. Submerged my i-phone, my body. Everything below my eyeballs.

The most expensive season I've even had and also the worst. Buy hey, it can only go up from here. lol.

[Richmellott]

Lost about 10 pounds of fat, wading through the thigh-deep water for two hundred yards at a pop in order to get to the tules where we set up. Gained it back when I went to dinner the next night. Never knew quads could scream, but you could hear them right through my waders.:mooning:
Lost at least ten rounds to frozen fingers and wet gloves. Found a duck strap... Lost a blind at San Jacinto, due to not having waders on me, and my buddies not having their duck stamps.:smiley_doh:
Lost a snow goose that I had downed, when he walked up to another hunter, while I stood there watching with a jammed gun. Put my bucks together and found another gun for this year. Lost a lot of my fear of spending money to further a crazy habit. Lost the rest of my money buying decoys, shells, gear, and calls more than six months before the next season! Must have lost my mind!:confused:
