Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

What are some items that you have misplaced or lost completely? I mean stuff that really ticks you off! You know you put it somewhere or left it somewhere, but for the life of you, you just can't remember.

I can't find my rangefinder that I bought last year. I'm not happy about it!

A couple of years ago I left a brand new Scott release on the bumper of my truck and drove off. And as bad as it sounds one day me and my dad were setting in the truck waitng out the rain and for my brother to get out of the woods before dark. Well a couple of deer came into the field so Igot my bow out of it's case and they spooked at the movement. Well instead of putting it back in the case I put it under the truck to stay dry. I forgot about it and when we drove of we ran right over it, but hey I got a new bow out of that little brain fart though.[X(]

I feel for you. We had stuff all over and it seemed we would find something after we replaced it. When we redid our basement, we made a "hunting room." All of our camo, equiptment and accessories go in there. We're allready seeing we should have made it bigger with my son hunting now, will make 3 of us.

I lost a pruning saw and scissors two years ago in the fall and found them this spring while checking stands. : )

I was always losing allen wrenches for my bow until I bought a few of those swiss army knife style wrenches and now keep one in my gear bag and one in my bow case.

GMMAT, I lose plenty of things with a 3 year old.

Me to wife "Have you seen my bow string wax?"

Wife: "Oh, your son had both tubes somewhere in the back yard today. I think he buried them."

I usually find them about a week or two after I need them. Working on getting a big lockable cabinet for my gear for the basement.

Binoculars off the back of the atv. Waterfowl jacket at my buddies outfitter camp in Nebraska.(he's gonna send it back soon, it's been 2 years) [:@]

I will not buy any equipment that is camo, unless it needs to be. Camo stuff is the easiest to loose. I don't know how much stuff I've left in the bottom of my goose pit!!

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

I got home from a wet hunting trip and put thermal underwear, Vasque Gore-Tex leather boots, a 10x Gore-Tex jacket and pants in a heavy duty trashbag. I was in trouble cause it was the holidays and hadn't been home enough, so I forgot about it. It wasn't in a normal place and when throwing away trash, it got thrown out.

I really loved the jacket and boots. But it was an excuse to buy some new gear since this stuff was getting older.

I now have a dedicated area for my hunting stuff and stay organized. Not going to repeat that again.

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

I lost my rangefinder last year, found it a few months later. I lose crap all the time. I think my boys help me though, that or I'm getting alsheimers at 38.

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

I have lost a couple of broadheads that some how came loose and fell of my arrow. I have also last a release. I took it off to field dress my deer two years ago and left it in the woods. I went back for it but the coyotes had taken everything. I am not sure if they took the release or if somebody else happened to stumble upon it. Either way it was gone.

I lost the bolt from my rifle while packing for deer camp when I was 16. I borrowed my (much older) brother's rifle for 2 days until he finally caught on andcalled me out.

21 years later... he still gets mileage out of this event. When he has alzhiemer's, sweet revenge will be mine.

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

The knife I used to gut my first deer. The dang thing jumped out of my pocket while walking in the woods. I know roughly where it fell out but never found it. ugh!

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

After an evening bowhunt, I was packing up my stuff in my truck. When I got home, I noticed that my bow was missing. Doh! Needless to say, I knew exactly where I was hunting the next morning! It was sitting right by my parking spot!

There are two items that I have forgotten on a hunt that piss me off most...my bow hoist and the strap to connect my safety harness to the tree!

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?

2 years ago, I had just bought a GPS ($200) I was out scouting and It was really hot in August, after arriving at my truck I began to take my back pack off and I took out my GPS and placed it on the tool box, I threw the rest of my gear in the truck bed and took off down the road. About 1/2 a mile down the road it suddenly hit me that I did not have my GPS, I turned around hoping to find it and not run over it, I'd walk a ways looking for it and get back in the truck continuing on.I finally found it 20 yrds from where I was parked. I have done cell phones the same way putting them on the tool box and driving off.

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

I once laid my release on the ground after an evening hunt and left it there, in the dark. I found it a few days later while I was helping the farmer by mowing roadbanks. CLANG!!! Didn't even know that I had lost it until that....

I buy jersey gloves by the 3-pack, somehow they always seem to get snagged out of my pockets in the brush.

I generally don't carry much anyways, less to lose.;)

One time back in the late 70s I was following my dad home on the turnpike from Pa's buck season, when my truckran out of gas.[:@] We both pulled over and I took out some of my things to transfer to my dad's car. First was my Rem 760 pump 30-06, which I layed on the ground as I grabbed other stuff to transfer.
We go get gas and return. Drive the rest of the way home. While unpacking I realize my 06 isn't anywhere to be seen. I ask pop if he brought it in the house already. He says no! I said "oh God, I must have left it where I ran out of gas"! I drive all the way back up to the spot, but of course it's gone. I had forgotten to put it in the car. What a smacked ass![&o]:D:DSorry, I tried to keep it short.;)

RE: Hunting Stuff that you have misplaced?
 

I lost my cell phone one evening hunt. Now there's prolly some deer making hundreds of calls with it.:DAlso, this year I bought a new headlight and left in in the woods turkey hunting, but i went back a week later and it was still there.
