Lost My Ammo, Had To Buy Some at Local Store

Maaaaaaan I forget stuff all the dammm time.

I have only forgot ammo once... luckily it was for my back up rifle so I still had my primary rifle and ammo. Still pretty ticked about forgetting it

Brought my .308 rifle and my .243 ammo once.....nice day in the woods, no meat on the pole

I have had hunting buddies forget/lose tags. Never ammo though.

No to the ammo, and I've flown multiple times to go hunting. But, I have forgotten on 2 different occasions my release when bow hunting. First time I tried just shooting with fingers but limited myself to 20 yds. I missed a doe at like 12 yds, shot 2-3 ft over her back. Second time was spot and stock antelope. Popped over a hill, 5 bucks feeding out in front of me. Reached down to clip my release onto the D loop and nothing was on my wrist! Didn't even try then. Made the long drive back to camp with my tail between my legs.

I try to shoot finger(s) with my compound every once in a while just in case that happens to me (again). I usually cary a spare release in my pack also.

Lost my ammo during an elk hunt. Had to go to small town in mtn's of CO to get more. Thankfully caliber was common (.338 Win Mag) and they had a box on the shelf. Not cheap, but it saved my hunt from ending prematurely.

yep,
We went to the range and I forgot our ammo

We went fishing, and I for our fishing poles

We went camping, and I forgot our sleeping bags

I fly jets, I don't have to remember the trivial s---!

I never forgot my ammo but accidently placed my rifle in the case without the bolt. I didn't realize the error until we arrived at out hunting location. Fortunately, I also had a handgun that was set up for hunting, so the trip wasn't a total loss.

For some reason or another, there's always something that gets left behind.

I went hunting once and brought my .270 and 30-06 ammo. Also had a pistol with me and used it to hunt that day. After that mistake, ammo boxes are color coded for each caliber.

Going on 82 and haven't yet but sometimes I forget items in the office when I head out to call on a customer.

Thankfully the computer covers 99% of it.

I've never forgotten ammo or bow release. In my pack that I use mainly for bow hunting I carry a spare release. And with ammo I keep extra at my hunting property in Georgia, in my truck, and all of my packs including my pack that I use for travel. My biggest issue is having to go through everything with a fine tooth comb before going through TSA.

I had to resort to putting tape on the boxes with big writing of what caliber it is so I can see it without trying to find a pair of glasses

I was hunting black bear with my wife and a guide. I shot 2 shots at a bear and it was down but still wiggling. My guide asked if I wanted to carry his rifle over for a final shot if necessary (my rifle was a heavy 16# 338 nCheytac). My wife chimed in that won't be necessary since I always carry 3 shots when out hunting (1 cartridge remaining and she has great faith in my shooting). The guide was incredulous until he noticed her smile...........

Can say I've done that. Each rifle has a case/bag and ammo stays in that case. Have forgot other stuff though.

I hunt with one of three rifles (different calibers). I always have a box for each in my hunting bag. No matter which rifle I pick, I always have ammo.
But I have forgotten other things.

Forgot ammo when going to the range-- not on a hunt though.

Once I went on an impromptu turkey hunt and only brought 5 rounds (all I had left)-- stopped at gun store on the way there and bought a 2nd box for "just in case" -- only used 1 shell that time- came back with a nice tom.
