This isn't a hunting story but I was fishing with my dad one time on the lake. He decided to change lures and put on this brand new spinnerbait that he had spent weeks trying to find in a certain color. He pulled off several feet of line to make sure he didn't have any nicks that would cause him to lose his new spinnerbait and then tossed the line he cut off in the bottom of the boat. After he showed off his new spinnerbait to me he picked up the tag end of the line, tied on his new lure, and tossed it over the side of the boat. He stood up, picked up his pole and realized there was nothing tied to his line.
After a moment of confusion he realized his new lure was sitting on the bottom of the lake tied to the 3' peice of line he cut off. He never did find that spinnerbait in that color again.
