Thanks for the suggestions. I definitely plan to make up a kit for my shooting box and be prepared for the next time. As I mentioned in the first post, after the separation occurred, I left the gun at a gun shop to be fixed. But, I was wondering what else I could have done myself in order to get the gun back into the woods. Thanks to all for some great ideas!
