Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever found anything good in the road?

Yesterday I picked up a ring necked pheasant some chick hit in front of me with her Rav4. Thanks for dinner.
A few snapping turtles.
A woman's purse - mailed it to her.
A woman's wallet - her [bleep] boyfriend came to my house and snapped it out of my hands without a word of thanks.
A decoy bag filled with new mallard decoys - right in the middle of Hwy 2 in North Dakota at 3AM.
Stuff sack with a camping pillow.
One 5lb sledge hammer

Lots of tools.
A few bills/cash.
A ladies rent check which she was very glad to have back.
Found a guys wallet in McDonalds. A trucker had stopped and ate and left it. I got ahold of him before he even realized he'd left it.

Lots of tools. An extendable handle the commercial pool cleaners use. I modified it with a fruit picking basket on the end and added another length. Pick avocados out of my taller trees with it.

Most recently, a $10 bill as I was walking into Marshall's to buy an All-Clad nonstick fry pan.

A hand truck, apparently lost off of a delivery truck. There's no end to the uses for one. However, by the time I could stop and turn around, someone else recognized it for it's usefulness.

Also found a wallet in a parking lot with 23-24 hundred dollars in it.

Picked up a race track. Thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Cal and Richard cars.

Other than that it’s thumbs down.

Did they smell like cocaine?

Huh. Now thinking about it, a old timer found us and got us to the main road 3 hours later.
Lol good road hunt.

I found a bundle of 30 sticks of 1/2" rebar along a county road. The bundle stayed there for about a week. I think a trucker had dumped it off a trailer as it was in an area where truckers would take a back road to bypass the scales on I-5. But occasionally the DOT would set up jump scales on the county road and the bundle was about 1 mile before the jump scale location. I finally took my trailer and picked them up.

Found a woman’s purse by the road one day. There was a piece of mail right on top with her address, so I drove back the couple of miles to the house…nobody home so I hung it on the doorknob inside the side porch.

A cow moose.

It didn't turn out well for either of us.

I know it happens but I don't get how people lose wallets full of money. The few times in my life when I was walking around with a few thousand in cash on me, I held onto that like it was , well, a few thousand dollars.

i found a wallet with about 75-80 bucks in it a couple of years ago. took it to the guys house and his parents thought i was some kind of whacko and didn't want to answer the door. when they finally opened the door and took the wallet they just stood there looking at me. not even sure if they said thanks. they were bitching about their son being late for work. pretty weird.

A very good 4 foot step ladder.
A loaded Colt AR-15 magazine.
A huge K-Mart folding knife.
Various tools, tow straps, log chains.
$20.00 bill

Lol, don’t think so..

Lived in Key Largo back in the early 90's during the cocaine cowboy days. Took boats out all the time and every person you ran into would impress upon you, whatever you do, if you see a big bundle floating in the water to get the hell away from it and don't even think about trying to fish it out of the water. Saw a big 3'x3'x3' cube wrapped in tons of shrink wrap and covered in tape one time. Turned the boat and ran like hell for the dock. Always figured that could have set me for life if I'd have taken a chance.... or got me aerated.

I've lost about as much!

Good job Fireballz.

LOL

Oh, and a brand-new wheelbarrow.

Gutted and tagged deer. Smallish buck. Drove to a check in station and gave it to the staff. They laughed hope the guy got his deer back
