Finally have given up hope of finding my rangefinder. Must have left it on some rockpile or something last year while out bobcat hunting.
Did find a brand new Trigger Stick while in Colorado last winter though. Lying next to a gut pile.

So what did you lose last winter ?

Lost a snow shovel-it flew out of my sleigh-going too fast.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

After skinning a wolf I left my favourite skinning knife in the tarp and then dumped the carcass along with the knife out on the big river. I checked twice but didn’t find it. Just a $15 knife but it was perfect for skinning. Also a big steel snow shovel during geese hunting. It was under some flood water by the boat and I drove away without grabbing it. Then the water rose another foot or so before I remembered.

Maybe 3 dozen traps. River came up first week of December and put my traps under 10' of water. Still there in July with probably 15' of water over them. Maybe by the end of August the water will recede and I will see what I can find.

C'mon J, rookie mistake man. Shouldn't have cost you that.

Not your normal year water wise in these parts. Record flooding on the Arkansas and such. Used to traps going under for up to a month but never 7 months. If my markers didn't wash away I should salvage the majority of them, if/when the river goes down.
