Had several. First was a bow string breaking on the hike in opening morning here for archery deer. About 20 years ago. I left my buds drove to the nearest town, found a shop, knocked on the door, the guys wife answered, called him since he was out hunting, and he came and made me string. We put it on, I resighted, drove back to hunting grounds, walked in, passing my buds on the way out for lunch. I climbed a tree, got settled in at 1:05 and killed a deer at 1:20
Second was on an elk hunt. Third day, I bushwhacked through the worst oak brush a man could ever walk through. On an off all day. I covered many miles, come back off the mountain and detoured around that huge mess. Found a smoking hot wallow and decided to set it until dark. Set it and ended up getting cold and stiff about prime time. Figured I had better draw my bow to loosen up. I was horrified to find my peep and kisser gone. So, i humped it 4 miles back to camp, got there about dark, found a peep, tied it in, resighted in the head lights that night, and killed an elk the first thing the next morning with it.
