I got out but it was probably the worst day EVER!

Ok, here we go...myself, my cousin (11), my uncle, my uncle's friend, and his friend all went out to a spot on a lake (east of 95). Well I get up at 2:15 am to meet my uncle at his house by 2:45, I get there and there are no lights on at the house, so I drive down a little further to his shop where he keeps all his hunting stuff, no one to be found. So then I called him but his phone was dead. So I drove circles around the house until I woke them up :lol:

(Gotta love them FlowMasters). Off we were to meet his friend at his house running late already. Finally we get to the lake and set up in the hot weather and rain with 2 hrs until shooting light. At shooting light, we found the boat that came in behind us set up 70 yds away...70 YARDS AWAY EAST OF 95...illegal but they didn't care and continued shooting at birds heading to our decoys. So me and my cousin ended up being the only ones not to fire even 1 shot off.

We decided after a sucky morning the evening couldn't possibly be worse right.......WRONG!

Me, my cousin and uncle get their boat ready and pull it out of the shop with the Ranger. My cousin unhooked the ball but forgot the chain and as I went to take it off he took off and almost got my hand yanked off plus the boat trailer rolled up after he stopped and dented in the back of the Ranger. Well off we go to another lake. Get halfway to the ramp and realize no lifejacket or throwable device. So we go back and get all that junk and head out again. The lake was well below normal water level and after hitting the motor on 1000 stumps on one side of the lake we decided to go to the deeper side and check some coves out over there. We got in deeper water and started going faster and all of the sudden the water goes back to 1 ft depth and we run aground at about 35 mph but luckily no one was thrown from the boat. We backed out and putted from there to the cove and got in the cove and we were running about 10 - 15 mph and ran up on a rock...A BIG ROCK. We tried reversing off the rock with no luck and finally pushed off of it after about 30 min of pivoting on top of it (Probably the closest I've ever been to flipping a boat and definitely 1 of the scariest moments of my life). So we went to crank the motor up and all that reversing and pulling the motor up and down killed the battery :cry:

. So with 1 paddle between the 3 of us we paddled and paddled and paddled until we got to the nearest row of houses (not knowing whether or not the hull is cracked from the rock or not) well...we went up to some houses and no one was home at all 3 houses. :cry:

So FINALLY we flagged a boat down (hadn't seen any boats all day on this lake and he said we were only the second he had seen) and he had jumper cables. Well...his jumper cables were broken....BUT he had a spare battery he let us use until we got the motor running good. So off we were to the ramp to go home when about halfway there the motor bogged down and sounded like it was going to die. It had some dirt and trash in the gas we found out but finally blew it out and we went for the ramp and made it this time but as we pull up so does the GW. She could have given my uncle a few tickets for parking and license plates but was extremely nice and let us go.

We were floating/paddling on the lake from 3:00 pm to 6:45 pm. We paddled a total of 2 miles....

Yes I know extremely long but all very very true!

all I can say to that is....rough, sorry to hear that. went out monday morning and saw lots of woodies thousands of geese and 4 black ducks. Unfortunately I had some trouble with those woodies and couldnt connect on any. either way it was a great way to end the early season. oh, and that afternoon I went to sit in the woods and saw 18 deer. being left handed of course the two bucks that came out 45 minutes after I sit down, come out directly on my left side at 20 yards :roll:

I then had to sit and watch them eat at 50 yards from 4:35 to 5:15.... nothing until around 6 and thats when the deer started to pour out of the woods. no shots but an exciting day in the stand and also got to see two bucks sparring. first time Ive ever seen that other then on tv.
