Don't try to un-cock the hammer on an older lever action 30-30 with gloves on.  :doah:

when a doe comes in looking behind her.. you should probably look behind her too.

Shoot before Red does! :rotflmao:

In all seriousness, I agree with Bobby Bass......SLOWDOWN! Regardless of what you are going after. Whether it means in actions or thought....think, breath etc...haste makes waste!

Dont try to open a beer with a loaded gun in your hands.... Just kidding... Never point your gun at something you dont intend to shoot.

Always remember to put a round in the chamber after you get into your stand.  If you forget you will only hear a click when you pull the trigger.  And if the deer hears it all you will see is a white tail as the deer runs away.

Make sure your gun is LOADED before cutting through a promising bit of grouse cover.
