I lost my mind a few times when I lived up in Porter county and hunted days so darn cold in snow up to my knees I should have stayed home.

Just the little things like everyone else. A Primos can call, knives, gloves, hats. I have never left a bow hanger in a tree, but have cussed plenty of times when I look up and have to go back after it after I am already on the ground.

A few pairs of underwear when I've forgotten my Toilet Paper, does that count? Otherwise, I've lost an insert for my duck call a few years ago, and the usual gloves, can call, etc.

I've got bowhangers in trees in :
Pennsylvania, Colorado, Michigan, Ontario, Kentucky, North Dakota, Idaho and oh yes...... Indiana.
The last stand I dropped in Indiana I looked up and there was my... actually Woodmaster's bowhanger up about 30 foot..

Oh,
I left my Ithaca Deerslayer II laying beside the road and drove off to help Woodmaster trail a deer.
It was gone when I went back, but fortunately for me an honest young man found it and got it back to me.

I had a gold watch that never left my wrist that was given to me by my grandparents for graduation in 1990 some time in 04 it came up missing and it was never seen again. Until while walking through the woods heading to my stand, toward the end of the 05 season i happened to look down and there was my gold watch lying in the woods. Took it to the jewerly store and got it going again. Put it away and have not worn it since.

I once knew a guy that left his thermos of coffee with his wrist watch around the cup on the side of a mountain in Colorado. 10 years later he came across the same thermos right where he left it. He could'nt believe the watch still worked, but he was really amazed when he took the lid off the thermos and the coffee was still hot. Was his donuts still there too?  h.h. |

I wonder how many of us have left bow hangers screwed into branches of trees we've been in... I have to buy new ones every year.  i should own the company by now that makes them, 9 times out of 10 i will forget them in the tree and i have done this since the very first time i set in a stand. |

It was gone when I went back, but fortunately for me an honest young man found it and got it back to me. Holy Cow I forgot about the time I left my 1187 on the bumper of my truck after a Mississinewa dove hunt... remembered it after I got home and opened the door to my truck to grab it and it was gone. My buddy and my now ex wife were great help both asked who I shot when I said your not going to believe what I did tonight at Mississinewa! 2 weeks later my buddy was sitting in a business break room and heard someone telling about his nephew finding an 1187 and ended up with it back after I proved by the serial number it was mine. Again nice young man..... On a side note, I met him again 9 years later he was one of the National Guard guys who set up our base camp for The Freedom Hunt this past fall !! |
