Both the fall turkey and bow seasons for deer are currently in here in Virginia, and Thursday I bowhunted after school in Botetourt County and today (Saturday) I drove to Franklin County for opening day of the fall season. And in two days afield, I managed to lose two more gear items.
On Thursday, I misplaced my Quaker Boy gloves while I was field dressing a deer I had killed with my new Parker Thunderhawk crossbow. It is my understanding that Quaker Boy no longer makes those gloves, which are the best I have ever used, and they were my next-to-last pair. I returned to the site where I field dressed the deer on Thursday, and the gloves were nowhere to be found.
Today, I killed a turkey in Franklin and while rushing to the bird, I apparently knocked off my Hi-Viz Turkey Buster front sight Although I searched for the sight for some 40 minutes, I never found it. Now my Remington 1100 shotgun is out of order until I can order a new sight.
Two weeks ago, I lost one of my favorite turkey calls, a Perfection 3-D Omega diaphragm, last month I lost the bottom of my ThermaCell, and earlier this week I misplaced my glasses while target shooting with my Matthews Switchback. Fortunately, I found the glasses a day later...right where I had left them on the sundeck, which is where I shoot from.
Of all the snafus on my part, losing the Quaker Boy gloves is the most exasperating. I had left them in Craig County while hunting the previous Saturday, so I drove over there after school on Monday to retrieve them. Then I lost the gloves again on Thursday, this time probably permanently. My incompetence in keeping up with my hunting gear is really quite pathetic.
You can blame it on the Lyme Disease.
