Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Things found while hunting?

I found something about like that while shooting on a local river bar several years back.From what I could gather,it must have been an orgy.Used condoms were strung out for 20 yards,along with bottles of lube,some blankets,evidence of a pretty big bon fire and about 100 empty beer bottles.

I've never smelt that kind of stench before.You could smell it 50 yards away.

Found a dead guy on Rollins pass. I was packing out camp and coming down the trail with the mules on the way to the trailer when i seen a small car parked next to the Needles Eye, upon getting closer the back window was covered in red goo and a dead guy with a note taped to the windshield.

Other than that some old mining tools and lost hikers have come my way.

I find myself...everytime I go hunting.

what did the note say?

Ha Ha Lynn that's funny!

It wasn't me and it wasn't hunting, but you reminded me of a story I know of a big find!

A friend of mine is an auto body man. So is his dad. The dad often goes around to government auctions and buys cars (junk) cheap for the fenders and what not.

Well he bought this car back in the eighties from a neighboring county's sheriff's dept. sale and had it parked around for a year or more at his place.

After all that time, another guy bought it from him to turn into a demolition derby car -- but this guy got a crowbar and opened the trunk and found 10lbs of pot in there!!!

He called the sheriff and gave it back -- My buddy and I were young and kind of wild back then and had saw that car a thousand times and never once thought of opening the darn trunk!!!

I wouldn't of been calling anybody anyway, but the funniest part is the sheriff's dept had sold the pot to my pal's dad!!! LOL

Hey! if somebody finds my glasses in Wyoming seen them back. Please.

I hate when the hoodwinking happened.

Make what you will of this but THAT I would have kept. For a rainy day and medicinal purposes you know!

When she was with us in this life my 80 year Grandmother found 5 very large patches of pot on her mountain in Asheville. Turns out it was the caretaker whom she fired on the spot. Then she pulled it all up and burned it herself. I'm still shocked that she even knew what it was.

The space shuttle fell all over my deer lease a few years back, but it wasn't hunting season.

The note I left alone, the Colt 1911 Officers model caught my eye. The Sheriff told me no.

It's not that unusual, though typically I find the keys in the gas cap. It's not that hard to find the owner - they are always on the wrong side of town and will give you a reward for bringing it back . . .

My dad found a guy sitting on a stump once who was lost down around the big thicket - sitting there drinking out of a flask. He told me later I think I drank all that guys liquor and might have left him sitting on that stump.

I think a griz is wearing mine! Left them up on the mountain when I was sheep hunting.

Luckily I find my way back to camp. Every time.

I found my check book,hunting on foot while grouse hunting,lost it a year earlier, to the day, doing the same thing.

Several years ago there was a story going around here that a local kid had bought a beater car from a seized property auction to use as the base for his auto shop project. Later, when he was trying to do some sheetmetal work, he found 5 kilos of cocaine hidden somewhere in the body. The teacher called the Sheriff, who in turn called USMS, who in turn were rather red faced and they seized the car again. A local attorney who likes to take on easy high profile cases that get his face on TV jumped in on the kid's side and got the USMS to "donate" a newer "clean" vehicle from their garage. The kid made out well, but it is too bad that he didn't get the street value of the cocaine to.

You take a check book hunting? Winn Dixie?

Other than a cheap hunting knife or two, a good box call, and a real nice buck - at least what was left from the coyotes outside Cleveland, OH, the thing I'm most glad I found was a clip from my 6mm Rem 788. I lost it as a kid in a snowstorm. When it melted off, I rode my bike out of town and back up on the hill and searched until I found it. 35 years later, with them going as high as $100, I'm glad I took the time.

didnt take it on purpose.Never knew what happened to it,till I found it.

re: returning the money.

In one of the lesser Liam Nisen (sp) movies "Rob Roy" he says to his wife, "Honor is the gift a man gives himself."
