Finds in the bush

--------"way back in the bush I found an old peavey."

I am well familiar with that tool, but on these threads you may have to explain what it is!
 
Someone found my 14' fiberglass canoe, that I had carried 3 miles back to Isobar Lake(now Island Lake) near Latchford, ON. On one of my trips back there, it was gone but I could see a green canoe out in the lake with men in it. I called them over and as it got closer, I could see it wasn't mine. They said they had been flown in, on a fishing trip so I suspected, mine had been flown out, at one point.
 
nabbed a leatherman wave off the main snowmobile trail the other day. it was in the case, so i guess it fell out of someones pocket. shoulda had it on their belt!!!

Yes, I've worked in the bush a lot of years so took it for granted.

A peavey is a logging tool. It has a 4' wood handle with a reverse taper to the business end. Then a heavy steel point and a swinging hook. You jab the point into a log and then use the hook to hold onto the log.
A similar tool is a cant hook - it has no steel point on the end.
 
I forgot about this one, a Coca Cola Cooler

I am finishing my basement so about a month ago I transferred everything temporarily into my garage and I came across this cooler that I completely forgot about.

I found this about 20 years ago while hiking back from a trout lake that had no road access. It was off the trail, sitting in a clearing near a stream.

I pick it up, brought it home, cleaned it up and placed it in the basement.

Playing ina an old house with my brother we found a bunch of weed all processed and wrapped up neatly in diapers, to help dry it out/keep it dry I presume. Probably about
20 diapers worth all packed up tight, it was a lot. I was too young to even know what it was, really.

I have lost way more stuff then I ever found, some good knives and gear like that, but I would be pretty stunned to leave a gun leaning against a tree.
 
I have never found anything interesting while out hunting. I have however lost a lot...

Every sheath to every knife I have ever owned
Tripod for a spotting scope
Dozens of arrows
Muzzle loader quick loads
Camo gloves / masks
Tru Ball relese

I know were there is an old grave about 150kms north west of Yellowknife. There was a meadow just off the shore of a lake I was hunting. I could see the mound as soon as I stepped onto the meadow. It was marked by two extremely weather-beaten slats tied together with some rusty old wire to form a cross. The cross was not standing, it was just placed flat on top the mound. I always wonder who might be buried there.

As you know a cant hook is lighter, shorter and has a little spur on the end, instead of the big tapered spike.
Many people get mixed up on the two, and call everything a peavey.
 
somewhere between here and quebec, someone found a benchmade knife..... probably an employee of Canada Post...

it was in a nicely wrapped box and adressed to a fellow cgner


most i usually find is garbage... but last fall i found about 12 unfired shotgun shells right beside the imprint of a man and shotgun in the mud.... someone must have taken a faceplant the day before, and they fell out of a pocket
 
I found a couple knives, a machete,old beer cans and bottles, axes, old bikes, furniture, clothes, cold beer cans in a stream, old metal gasoline can, antlers,couple deer and moose skulls, a huge beer buck, spent and live ammo,a rusted out woodless lever rifle...
 
Sure you found two girls doing it most lesbians are not girls you want pictures of anyway. Generally most girls who are hot who are doing it are doing it because they get paid to.

Having read this entire thread, I am struck by the number of people who carry crap into the bush and leave it there. I am also always shocked by the mentality that says we should shoot it!! I have come across many things that were shot up, simply because they were there? That's pretty infantile, IMO. That's the same mentality that taggers and vandals have. Aren't we better than that?
Also, there are things "lost" that the owners intend to come back for and we have simply taken them? And kept them? I have left everything I have found in the woods for a decent period of time before I went back to check and see if they were still there. If so, then I would pick it up. I'd be pissed if a knife fell out of my belt when I was taking a dump, retraced my trail once I'd realized where I might have lost it, come back to find it gone and someone else's tracks all over the place. Might be tempted to track them...

AHAHAHAHAHA!! That's fricking' priceless! I hardly think you'd be able to actually track someone if you couldn't even keep ahold of your own gear in the first place.:rolleyes:
