Almost and no.
Probably 20 years ago I was hunting on a wildlife management area using a climbing stand. After the hunt I walked back to my 4 wheeler I leaned my rifle (Weatherby Mk V) against a limb of a pine sapling, loaded the climber onto the 4 wheeler and rode about two miles back to my vehicle. After trailering the 4 wheeler I opened the door and seeing the folded, empty gun case on the front seat made me utter a few bad words 😳. I always fold up the case so no one will think that there might be a rifle in the truck. No need to tempt anyone.

The only thing that worried me was that while I was loading up, there were a couple of pickups that came out of the WMA and drove right by me. I hadn’t passed them on the ride out so they were probably farther in than I was and might have driven by the rifle.

So back on the atv and drove back to the spot and there it was, right where I had left it.
