If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I wasn't hunting, but once found an expanded 30 caliber bullet partially embedded in an old decaying stump. I always wondered if it had passed through a deer before ending there.

Two interesting ones.
One was a 45-70, unmarked, folded-head case about 1/4 mile north of the Santa Fe RR, Canyon Diablo bridge in AZ. The other was a 308 case that had been fired in a 30-06, now a nearly straight-sided case, found in a gravel pit west of Flagstaff,AZ.

Hunting way back in the woods one year and too a breather from the hills, looked down and there was an old gas cap to a stihl chainsaw. Those woods looked to have not been logged in over 50 years, stumps you could see were rotted to the ground. The cap fit my old 041 farmboss.

Man-O-Man that stuff is good.

Some of other random finds too. An old mining claim from the 1950's. That is cool. Did you open it? I did a while later after I made sure the mining claim was no longer active. A fire had melted the jar lip a bit so I couldn't unscrew it. I broke it open and the paper was too brittle to really do much with. I could ascertain the date and some of the cadastral info. That was about it. I am unsure what minerals they were after.

Dove hunting w dad one afternoon I found a pretty clean 1931 Winchester Mdl 12 leaned up against a tree on the edge of the field we were hunting. We asked the land owner if he’d given anyone else permission to hunt there he said “no”
Still have it in the safe

Ive found a lot of old brass while out hunting. The coolest was probably an old 300 Savage case made by Western way off in the middle of nowhere, and an 8mm mag. Just don't see those around...

Found an 81mm mortar round with two friends. It was just lying in the California desert, out in the open, far from any gunnery range. I detonated it from about 200 yards with a 6mm Remington. From the way it smoked and fizzed, we concluded it was a practice round, not HE.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

I've found a few over the years but don't remember what they were.

Still have it in the safe Can you tell me where you found it and when? It’s probably mine. On private ground north of Lewisville Lake Corp property in what is now within the city limit of Little Elm Tx. Had to have been Sep of 82 cause I was home on leave for the dove opener

Cool thread as I was just thinking about a 32 Winchester case i found in SE Idaho way off the beaten path. I was a couple of miles from the road on some of the steepest ground on earth hunting deer and was following a game trail into a draw when I found it. I’ve always wondered if the hunter got what he was shooting at.

I was hunting Antelope in Arizona and I heard a bunch of yelling and shooting.I looked over the top of a nearby hill and saw a bunch of dead Mexicans around pickup trucks.I went down to take a look see and there was a chit load of wrapped up nose candy.Then I found a satchel of C notes and another pickup with a half dead Mex in it.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
