RE: Have you ever found a Knife or other gear while on the hunt?
The best thing I ever found was my son's rifle. Hate to admit it, but my son and I left it behind about four miles from camp - so excited and busy boning and packing out his deer thathe thought I had his gun and I thought he had it. Worse yet, being in separate vehicles,we didn't notice until I was putting the guns back in the safe.
Following weekendwe had to gohunting again - for a rifle!To everyone's disbelief we weresuccessful. I seriously am thinking of getting a blaze orange synthetic stock put on it.
One thing I do not understandiscamoflauged gear.Iput bright reflective stickers or fat, bright colored lanyards on my camera, range finder, GPS, and binoculars. I do notwant my expensive stuff to be easier to lose.I suppose if I was in the business of selling the gear,I would want my customers to have camoflauge everything - and sometimes they actually charge more to make your stuff easier to lose!! They're pretty smart.
On the other hand, given the embarrasing story above, maybe I'm the only one who needs bright colored stuff!
