Id say its a Sign...

My wife and I were Spring Gobbler hunting in the woods about 10 yrs ago and stopped to listen or call and she looked down and there was a camo headlight in the leaves. I couldn't see it at first! I wondered how long that was there? Picked it up and hit the switch and it came on! She still uses it.

Not on the trap line, but I was duck hunting with my brother and 2 friends several years back. The ducks kept swinging wide by about 120 yds. So, I went on a walk about to see what was over there they wanted more than where we were at. As I was wading in the knee deep water, I kick something hard. I reach down in the water and pull up a hard side gun case. I kept walking and see some decoys. So I sat my gun down and opened the gun case I just discovered and found a shotgun inside. There were 3 dz duck decoys, thrown around (not in any particular pattern), 12 goose decoys scattered throughout.
I sat on a stump and looked down while I was calling for my friends to come over, and found a thermos, 2 boxes of shells, a sock hat, and a pair of gloves. Me and my crew spent the next hour poking brush looking for a body, because we knew no one would leave that much equipment there. Never found anything that led us to believe there may have been foul play. I left a note in the sign-in box for folks to "call and claim lost gear" no one called. I worked for the PD at the time, and ran the numbers on the shotgun, it was not used in any crime, nor was it ever reported stolen. It was very strange situation. I seriously felt sick, because I was just sure someone had got hurt or swamped a boat or something bad happened to just leave that much gear.

The thing that makes it even more odd is that Me, my brother and one of our friends had hunted the same spot until 11am the day before and that stuff was NOT there! and no one was there on the week day when we were hunting that morning either.

I was walking through a place called the Burma Swamp still hunting deer many years ago and in an area that probably not to many venture that deep into. Stopped and knelt down to scan the area. Right before I got up I notice a $5 dollar bill laying on the ground ten ft in front of that lay another.

One other time I was trout fishing a stream and thought that it would have been nice to bring my knife from the truck to clean the trout that I had caught. I was finishing up fishing a hole and I looked on the bank next to me and there was a brand new shorty fillet knife. What are the odds

Deer hunting about 10 years ago, I was walking out to the deer I had shot and found a 1 1/2 duke trap laying in the grass with a few coon toes in it. No stake, just laying there.

Back in early 1980s was checking fox traps along edge of picked corn field. On my way back to truck I notice what thought was trash stuck to corn stub. Turned out was a balloon with a plastic bag and envelope in the bag..Opened the envelope it had a note in it. Was from grade school kid lived up by Twin Cities. Don't recall now what town.. They had released the balloons as a class science project about wind.. So I wrote a little note about where and how I found the balloon sent it to the address on the note.. Couple weeks later got a thank you for returning the info on the balloon and a hand made book marker as a gift..Not really a strange find but interesting. Think I still have the letter and book mark here somewhere in all my old crap??

How did you know it was gay porn?? We all want to know

Hmmm........beaver dam.....gay porn dvd........
Gotta be a twisted joke there ......that can get someone banned or a time out real quick......

I think I'll leave that one alone. Lol......🤐

What I want to know is … did you take it home and watch it ?

Garry-

Over and over again to make sure that every minute of it was gay, is my bet.

When I was 7 or 8, I was riding with my folks back to home from Albuquerque, and just south if Vaughan made my dad stop so I could uhh...make a scent post....

Well, out there in the literal middle of nowhere was a neat little pocket knife with a stage handle on it. Just laying there's like it was waiting for me.

Still have that knife too.

The cover was rather vivid shall we say.

I was trapping beaver on a friend's place on the Crow Indian Reservation and as I was sitting a trap on a crossover my boot slipped and I stuck my hand into the 330 after removing myself I dug around to figure out what had caused my foot to slip off and found a bull buffalo skull before that was a shed elk antler up in the Big Horn Mtns where it was possible to find elk but buffalo weren't around on that part of the reservation.

Some years ago while elk hunting in Colorado, a buddy and I hiked up a mountain. He went farther up than I did. While up there he found numerous sea shells. They were very fragile and some crumbled when he came down. But, they were without a doubt seashells as some remained intact. What were they doing near the top of a mountain?

Trapper7 ever hear of the flood and Noah's ark?

That's the first thing that came to mind between my buddy and I. Not much better proof, IMO. Of course, the naysayers will have some other excuse.

Run Forrest, Run!!!

Did you hear banjos nearby ?

Oh the weird crap we have found over the years. When the boys were young they got a kick out of what the beavers in this creek were using to build a new dam with. Literally junk, talk about being resourceful. The toilet seat made them laugh.



This next pic is a large male coon I found when checking my sets late one night. It was a huge boar....but not live it was killed and mostly eaten. Now a big boar is a force of nature....and this one was caught by the back foot so still had 3 feet and a face full of teeth to fight with. Pretty eerie scene to walk up on with a little flashlight on a windy dark night. But that was a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) of a battle. This was in a dryland coon set with a 1.5 coil.


I found a lot of cool stuff over the years too. Arrow heads, bones, teeth, claws, you name it. Found an old wallet one year and was able to return it to the landowner, he was tickled though the contents were mostly destroyed by the elements.
