Buddy drew a Custer State Park tag 2,000 applications for 5 tags what a lucky stiff! I was thinking about my antelope decoy then realized I never got it back, the same with the blind I loaned out. Now Im thinking about the other stuff I will never get back I’d guess it’s a lot of stuff.

My one buddy borrowed my single shot youth turkey gun for his kids but he keeps having kids I might never see that again. LOL

Looks like I’m going antelope hunting this year I can’t wait I know the park pretty well. Doc is fun to hunt with.

I don’t let anyone borrow anything anymore!!!!

I hope you get a nice antelope

90 cent gas

That’s how it goes!

At least some one is making memories and using it

Heck I’d give it to them if they needed it anyway. I guess I already did that.

Same

several dozen traps giving out a few at a time to people with instruction on how to catch the problem. Got told when they got the problem but never have the traps found their way home. My copy of marine sniper I lone to a co worker. He lost his mind after his wife died and lost his job soon after or got an early retirement deal. Was told he was found dead in his house a few years back. Good guy with some of the best back woods KY red neck stories.

Money but figured it was gone when I loaned it. 3 things I can think of right off. Nothing truly important just the principle.

Only way I loan stuff out is if they give me something they want back.

Sad it's got that way, but people have no respect anymore.

As someone who has a large tool collection , it is a problem. All the time friends want to borrow them. Luckily nowadays , it is super easy to refer them to places like Advanced Auto or another large auto part supplier who rents tools for free with a deposit equal to the tools replacement cost.

Owning a pickup has the same problem , everybody wants to borrow it. I refer them to Home Depot rental that is as cheap as $19.95 a day plus mileage. Uhaul has similar rates for their smallest box trucks.

Cage traps...someone needs to borrow one, then that person loans it to someone else, and so on, till poof! no one knows where it went....

OR, the first borrower claims " I brought that back..don't you remember?" lol

I know all too well about loaning out traps, equipment, and lending $$. Lots of stuff out there that won't be coming back.

"I'd loan you my wife before I loan you my tools. I KNOW she'll come back"

Was a sign I had on my tool box when I wrenched.

Not sure what it is about loaning traps ? Anytime I loan them, I have to go get them if I want them back. Doesn't matter who it is ?

Maybe at Taco Bell.

When you loan somthing out just tell them to keep it because no one ever returns any thing any way.
I seem to get most things returned this way exept for traps.
I gues traps where designed for sticky fingers.

Spot on. I loaned one to a co worker once and then he loaned it to his sister who then moved away. I guess he forgot it wasn’t his to begin with

If they don’t bring a cage back they seem to run them over somehow that’s rather common leave them in the open rather then pick them up, the grass grows tall then oh ya that’s where that trap was when it gets crushed. Had a guy buy 10 quality cages the next year he needed 10 more his kid left them out when he was done trapping but never collected them just spread all over farm country. Finally had a talk with the kid about not setting them in travel ways set closer to structures and trees you can see better.

Just had that happen- an acquaintance wanted to borrow my pickup to haul scrap. Said he would kick me some gas, it was only 3-4 loads (yea right it will probably be 7-10). I gave him the ol' Did you ever see a scrappers truck?, Nice of you to ask what I would charge, I wouldnt lend my truck out to my daughter (I would, just was on a roll). THEN, when he got desperate, he offered me 100.00, I said that doesnt sound near enough I just aint doing it- please stop asking. Im too old for this stuff , know what happens and I always pay up when I get work done.

I've lost a half dozen live traps, post hole diggers, 5 gallons of gas and the jug, 2 boxes of 30-06 ammo. I don't loan anything anymore
