Lost and found while in the great outdoors

Left a jackknife on a big pine stump after a chase, found it there the very next season covered in leaves....Lost a Swedish brush axe off my ATV, also found it the next season on a trail....Lost a rattle bag, and another hunter in my camp found it the following season..

I have also caught a couple of fish with lures in them. One year I got this bass that was obviously blind in one eye and very skinny but a big bass for where we were fishing. We decided to keep him for diner, well he was so emancipated he tasted horrible.
I lost my binoculars one season and found them the next. They were totally shot, fogged, out and unusable. You can’t expect them to be good after that so not the manufacturers fault.
 
The one knife l lost was when mother nature called,took the knife cut out a piece of my shirt ,due to lack of leaves buried in a foot of snow,so l pick a good stump and kick away snow and do my business not realizing that my knife fell out ,needless to say l found it the following weekend sitting right next to the stump.
 
We were winter camping. Deep snow. Cold.
Son Of Mine, got himself busy hauling out the heavy gear on his ski-doo, as Pop's was a'wobbl'n about the bushes ... on crutches with a busted ankle, wearing just the one one snowshoe. Floundering about, so he was.

Next winter, went to pack up for a full-fledged, <'two good legged this time',> snow-trip ... where the H is my pack?. ... " 'Taint here mister. "
Went in anyways, despite the missing kit.
Humping in, ... whats that there mound in the middle of the trail?.

My pack!, ... and the spicy gumbo soup within it, was still Soooo good when that night's cold came down.

This .... only 1 3/4 hours north of Toronto, on a road allowance.
 
$150 sunglasses lost 2 years ago. Buddy found them on a chase last week. Once cleaned up they were still good to go!

One guy we hunt with loses a bunch of gear every year. Always finding his stuff on the trail in.
 
I have never lost a round, or a magazine, or a knife, but I did lose my wedding ring. Third week of October 2011 while hunting with my father, I even know where it fell off, went back and looked for hours and hours.... still pisses me off.

I have had many things stolen while hunting though, this year it was my weight distributing hitch, the arms, and even the brackets off my camper, the bastards even brought tools!!!!
 
Lost my GPS and two way radio after I slipped off a log crossing a beaver flood. 6 and a half hours into a 7 hour hike (big circle back to home base) and I didn't want to go around so I took a chance. Don't tell my wife but I hated that GPS (magellan triton 400) and it was a nice excuse to get a new one. Honey it is for SAFETY! :)
 
not really hunting but I lost a pocket knife out on the farm when I was a kid than randomly one day 15+ years later I found it randomly under a log I was moving.

Would love to catch people doing that kinda crap IN the act...
 
In 1991, I stuck my favorite hunting knife in a nearby tree after dressing a caribou I had shot.
Later, about 25 miles down the river in a boat, I realized what I had done.
The following year, I asked my partner who was going back up the river, if he would just check for the knife.
It was still stuck right where I left it, and he returned it to me.
Still using that knife, a handmade favorite.
Eagleye.
