Idiot moments!

[Sausagedog 7,381]

I've had my fair share  of contributing to idiot moments. In fact it could be said I'm a natural!

Took the dog a walk and bagged a pheasant.Nothing remarkable there I know.

No it was when I got to the trail camera that my latest idiot moment was revealed!

Checking the times that slinky visited the site it suddenly dawned on me the cameras clock was a hour forward!

All those early mornings were a total waste of time for goodness sake man........

So how is it for you. Any one got any comical idiot moments that at the time were frustrating but are laughable now?

I used to do a lot of rabbitting in the Borders and loved working the terrier marking the dry stone walls and pulling out the rabbits. Now the whole farm was electric fenced to the mains. One day I was trying to extract a rabbit from a wall when my forehead touched the electric fence and sent me flying 6 foot in the air landing on my back , my mate was killing himself laughing but all I could do was cry my eyes out , not through pain but I was in shock. I am now terrified of electronic fences ......oh and I continued and still got the rabbit

Not so much idiot moments but I’m always tripping over stuff when mooching at night:(

was talking to a couple of mates the other night, we’re all a couple of years either side of 50 and it’s not just me

one got tangled in the barbed wire last week, me other mate slipped on a massive bank and went flying… me shotgun mate jumped a wall and bust his ankle and had to use gun like a crutch for the mile trek back to motor

and me spotter is an hour out too

Climbing a barb wire fence in my new trousers as the bloke behind spoke I turned to listen and!!

Fell off tearing them open crotch to knee to. 

I wasn't laughed at wearing gaffer taped pants for the next 5 drives much .

And for the hell of it drove to Sussex on the Fallow with my trusty .243 rifle and my .308 ammo wallet

I had five idiot moments yesterday, flushed five pheasants and missed them all. One of those days......couldn’t hit the side of a barn if I was stood inside...

I might of said this before but my idiot moment was bursting for a wee when out foxing , whipped the little chap out and pis*ed on a electric fence, fell on the floor and pis*ed all over myself, never felt pain like it and I had ball ache for the next 24 hours, it felt like I’d been struck by lightning, when I’m out now I never wee up against anything

Out shooting pigeons on the edge of copse where the adjoining field had an electric fence, farmer says "when you want to pick up go in the shed and turn the power off".  Unfortunately he never told me that two electric fences were run from that shed and i turned the wrong one off. tried to cross the fence over an old bath (trough) with a scaff board on as a style. OMG Mike Tyson could not have landed an uppercut like the blow I took too my balls, don't know of long i lay there whimpering. Like Stav says above ached for the next day.

Thought you'd just have one of them big padded nappies!

Lots, but one I'll never forget.

Long drive for me, nearly 50 miles to pick up my lad, then off to one of his shoots another 20 miles away, only to open the boot and find all the guns but the ammo box which also contained all the rifle Bolts was still back at my house!

Daft thing was he was ok, he had one of his rimfires, but I deliberately took a different calibre rimfire and a few centrefires, so I could do nothing but follow him around, and get wet I remember, it was one of those misty days with fine rain that simply soaks you.

We gave up early with nothing to our name, just one of those days you right off but never forget!

Had another moment the other night. One leg over a barbwired fence, other leg slips and I go backwards gashing one leg on the wire and ruining a pair of trousers. Fortunately it wasn't my new pyjamas! Or my ball bag!!

Now that would have been a photo to behold
