I've forgot lots of hunting stuff, but fishing one time I left my full tackle box on the river bank, when driving 15 miles to my next stop. Of course it was gone when I got back, several $hundred's worth. I bought $10.00 worth of jig heads and twister tails and went fishing at dark. Caught my limit of very nice walleyes in an hour. The rest of the story, A cool old guy found my tackle box and I got it back a month or so later.
