I Found A Full Quiver.

[Dennis]

Doghed, it is great that you have posted this and hopefully the owner and the story can come to light. I also want to acknowledge your offer to pay shipping. You are a man of character and good job! Thanks on behalf of all of us who have lost something along the way and I hope you find my rangefinder someday. I lost it about 30 years ago somewhere in Colorado.

They're in NM...not FL, it's the name of a small mtn range.

All you guys losing quivers just furthers my reasoning in using a solidly mounted 2 piece

 

[Doghed]

An airman died a couple years ago on an archery hunt in the Florida mountains from a fall. Not saying it was his but could’ve been. That’s super rough country in places, could’ve been several reasons for it being left although it does seem strange.

Yes I remember his story. I thought about him while hiking up there a few weeks ago. The Floridas can be dangerous. The easiest hiking in those mountains is the hardest hiking I want to do.

Its possible it has something to do with him. The area we were hunting is pretty popular during archery.

 

[Doghed]

Still looking.

Bump to get this in front of more eyes.

Back in 2004 in north Idaho shot a bull and while butchering seen two guys go by me at about 40 yds they did not see me due to the dense veg but I could see one hunter had a big collection of arrows…several hours later coming out and we bump into each other, we talk and they are same guys I look no bow for either one..was guide and hunter..I ask where is your bow…they look at each other hunter says “I lost it”….I can’t hold back my laughter how did you lose your bow I seen you come by several hours ago with it…..well it was on a sling and fell off, so you did not notice that nope…we looked and could not find it….fully setup matthews….was a doc in north Idaho….I laughed again and later looked for it with no luck…I find stuff all the time two pistols several knives a rolled over atv…one buddy shed hunting found two snowmobiles in the spring…thankfully I’ve never left anything expensive yet…..

When I worked at sportsman’s in Idaho long ago a friend came in and said “I need a new shotgun”.

I said, “you just bought a beretta Onyx 3.5’. What happened to that?”

“It’s at the bottom of the snake River.”

I told this story awhile back, but I will tell on myself again.

Several years ago I was laying in some rocks out of the wind glassing for elk. I had been there about an hour or so. Got tired of setting there and got up, gathered my stuff up and climbed out of the rocks to a grassy knoll right above where I had been sitting. I was looking around and looked below me and much to my surprise there was a rifle laying there in the rocks. I thought to myself "my lucky day, some idiot forgot his rifle". That is when I realized it was my rifle.

I have lost count of knives driven into trees I've left behind after dressing an animal. Some of the areas I hunt you don't even need a knife. If you shoot one just look around there has to be one close at hand.

 

[Conroy]

I have left a couple of pairs of glasses in Montana and Wyoming. I hate to wear them when I am glassing or looking through the scope. In the heat of the moment I set them down without thinking. Once I walk away, they are gone forever usually. Twice I have remembered about an hour later, and my son went right back and found them. I finally started buying cheap glasses from Zenni, and I buy them in 3's.

If anyone finds a scott rhino release in Colorado be careful where you step because I was dropping a deuce right next to it. Had to take it off to wipe my backside and left it behind.

I know a guy that had one of the first hundred Benelli Novas ever built. Its at the bottom of the Great Salt Lake.

My son lost my Leupold rangefinder in NM Unit 23 last deer season, if anyone finds it....Merry Xmas

 

[FLATHEAD]

I found an OLD sheath knife on the flats west of the Florida's,,,maybe half a mile from the
base of the mtns, while my son and I were after Javelinas. No sheath, handle rotted away.
Been there quite a while. Cool find though.

I found a domesticated goat at my house on saturday. How does one lose a goat?
if anyone wants a goat, please come and get it.

 

[TSnave]

I was out for a hike and noticed a little fork-horn shed. When I picked it up, lying on the ground directly underneath it was an old fixed blade knife with the leather washer handle rotted away. It's on my workbench somewhere; someday I'll get around to putting a new handle on it.

When they found Otzi (the iceman) he was missing some arrows...

 

[EastMT]

I was up in a high glacier valley hunting for goats a friend had hunted the year before, looked up and saw a camo razor blade knife set up. Took it home, was telling my buddy about it after the goat story, he say hey is it camo LMAO, no new knife for me!

 

[Elk97]

There's a nearly new Rocky Mtn bugle tube laying in the woods south of Big Sky MT. It's right next to where I took a break and ate some trail mix. Shouldn't be hard to find, it's camo but laying in kind of a bare spot. Finders keepers.

 

[Fatcamp]

Pretty much every right hand glove I ever bought is laying in a marsh or on a hill side somewhere.

You are welcome, friend.
