Holy cow.......
JG, did you find it close to that fence? Think how many guys worked and walked that fence over the years and didn't see it.
I bet a cow stepped on it and bent the tang........

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...

I'm glad mine can't. It's also why I prefer to hunt alone......

I bet a cow stepped on it and bent the tang........ I was thinking the same thing. Only thing I can think of on why it wasn't seen before is the grass is really grazed down low, much lower than normal.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

One of my "toys" as a kid was what was left of a Browning A5. It was about as rusty as that old Winchester in the OP. My grandpa found it in a fence row next to a road. Speculation was that it had been stolen and someone got scared and tossed it there. How about, someone was hunting and laid the gun down while crossing the fence. They drove off without it. Later, when they realized it was missing, they went back but they couldnāt find it.

one of my dad's friends bought an old house in PENN back in the late 70s and while rewiring the electricity he found a civil war rifle inside one of the walls. It was in very poor condition, but it was a cool find

Very cool. Iād love to know how the tang wound up so bent. The most likely thing that I can come up with is that the previous owner had anger issues and flipped out over a missed shot or something and trashed rifle swinging it like an axe handle and then just left it there.
