Finds in the bush

^ Nice turtle! My friends and I found a cool hikers cabin on a nice little lake/pond up in Squamish (about 10+ years ago), It had a wood burning stove, bunks with bedding and
even a log book filled with people that had been there (we of course signed it as well).

Last summer one of the guys from the same group and I went up to find it armed with a GPS phone, our only clue as to its location was what we believed was the lake on the phones map. Once we got into the area we were sure the cabin was we were greeted with a wave of disappointment. The whole area had been destroyed and there was now excavation equipment a gate and some sort of construction shed. There was no sign that a lake or cabin had ever been there and the place looked like a war zone.

I was really angry and felt like burning the equipment and shed out of revenge (of course I did nothing of the sort). Anyway we still have the memories (at least the bastards cant bulldoze that).

PS: If this sounds familiar to anyone in the Squamish or surrounding area please chime in!

that looks like something i saw near Bridge Lake...funny the stuff you see for sale and where they are
 
A few miles south of Cape Churchill the remains of a factory can be seen; not abandoned buildings or anything like that, but a place where the pre-Dorset people came for access to Chert, a type of flint they used for making arrow heads, harpoon heads, and various cutting tools. There is a pile of reject stuff that was tossed aside when it broke while being fashioned into a useful tool. From the size of that pile the site must have been used for many generations.

If you happen to live near a decommissioned military base you find treasures of the explosive kind from time to time. This year was extraordinary for us, over 30 pieces were recovered, and blown up. Some were live others were inert. This one was live . . .

I was hiking along the Kennebecasis river one January morning about 12 years ago and tripped over a small semi auto blank gun. I was about 11 at the time and had no idea if it was real or not. I carefully picked it up and speed walked home to allow my father to inspect it. He deemed it not only safe but not operational and let me have it.it was the coolest "toy" I have found

In February of 2010, I was following some coyote tracks hoping to find thier wintering den, and I came across these two vehicles. One of them still had a plate on it dated 1975.

You can make out the Datsun logo in the picture right beside the plate.

My eyes are burning! I've just spent the last 3 hours at work reading this thread from beginning to end. Some absolutely crazy finds! loved the fridge in the swamp. I haven't found anything yet. Might be because I just started hunting this summer... Going for 'yotes this saturday :)

I was hunting an old logging road when I came upon an old pile of you know what, complete with toilet paper.




Oh yea, I forgot to say that there was a really nice browning knife lying right beside the nasty pile!-----slipped off of someones belt I guess!

Still looking for the owner----if you can describe what you had for supper 2 years ago I will send it along to you, and a lot sharper than when I found it too! :cool:

I find the usual stuff like dead cars and freezers but my old black Lab was the one who made us smile. We used to live in a bush lot and he'd wander around all over, making sure that the coyotes didn't come close to the house. One winter he came bounding through the snow with half a deer rack in his mouth. He was really pleased and chewing it. I called him over and gave him some dog cookies and yelled "Go find Daddy another one". 5-10 minutes later he came back with the other half.

He got lymph cancer and had to be put down last year, but every time I go deer hunting and get my 8 point rattling antlers out and see the tooth marks in them I remember my Lab. Priceless. Miss you buddy.

Was out doing some forestry work with a buddy and my 16mth old chocolate lab puppy one August. Walking back to the truck and we were crossing a bridge over a creek in the middle of nowhere. Told my dog to "go have a drink" - he would drink on command, which was handy if there weren't a lot of creeks around. When he was down at the creek I yelled down to him to "Fetch daddy a beer".

He came scrambling back up, and dropped a can of Kokanee on the bridge deck.....My buddy looked at me, looked at him, and said "well, go fetch Uncle Bill one too!"....

Dog scrambled back down hill under the bridge, and came back up with another one!

Mind you, sharp teeth punctured that can, and Bill had to wrestle the can away from him.....Dog still loves beer......
 
^^^^^^

Here I was going to offer you a huge amount of money for that dog, but I don't like Kokanee........;)

Good eyes Keller, I had not noticed that at all. Now that we have a good layer of snow, I will be going back to that same spot soon. Coyote tracking:D

First I ever heard of "coyotes denning in the winter" in my 40 years of hunting. I always thought they were free ranging looking for their next meal.
 
Awesome thread! The only thing I've ever found was a full beer bottle on our property. It was in a coozy too if I recall correctly.

I have found alot of cool stuff very similar to others but the two weirdest things i have found were a HUGE crankshaft 3/4s sticking out of the ground at least 50 miles from the nearest road on a fly-in north of earfalls ontario.
The next was a fridge laying on its back in the bush in the middle of nowhere,i walked over to check it out and upon opening the door discovered a staircase going about 10 feet underground to an 8x10 room fully supported with tung and groove wood walls,floor and ceiling.Nothing else in there.Just weird.
Years later i went back into that area and the whole thing was gone.

This gave me the chills though! I'd love to find something like that.
