    Worst thing you’ve forgot to take into the field?

    Black coyote

    Congrats! Sadly reminded me of one I missed with my bow several years ago. It was all charcoal colored, no noticeable white. Came at a trot through some thick brush, got it to stop but to thick and the arrow was deflected.
