I think that qualifies. You are not alone. Made me chuckle to remember getting all ready to see if there could be an elk in the foothills of the Rockies. Had my Dads Eddystone 30.06 standing next to the door. You remember way back, when nobody cared that a guy had a rifle standing at the door. Like you I was an hour away when it struck me that the rifle was still standing at the door and not in the ‘58 Ford trunk. Screwed up timing for the day. Had a nice hike in the forest and never saw or heard an elk. It was another ten years before I got a chance to take one. Did not forget the rifle then. Now this was back as a young guy when we aren’t supposed to be quite so forgetful. It’s to the point now I’ve already forgotten stuff that I’ll never remember why it was important in the first place. But one thing I remember every year is October 1 the opener for pheasants. Now where is the safe spot I squirrelled away the RST.
