OOPS!

Same thing happened to me a few years back trying for a chatty pine squirrel. When I went in for lunch, I tied a crescent wrench to my tow rope and threw it over my arrow. Thought I was pretty smart until I yanked on it and it almost nailed me on the way down!!
Not gonna do that again....

I've lost an arrow in a porcupine because of this too. He was on the ground when I shot him, but climbed a tree with my arrow sticking out both sides. I knew he would fall eventually, and it was getting time to get into the tree stand, so I thought I'd retrieve the arrow on the way out. Well, I ended up shooting a deer that night and forgot about the porky. When a returned the next day, there was no sign of the critter or my arrow.

You never know when you offer good advice. Tim just texted that he retrieved his arrows. He had to take Bill's advice and use a climbing stand because the ladder was not tall enough! He said it took "a dang hammer and chisel to get the broadheads out"
