    I found a really nice folding Carolina brand knife while bowhunting here at home and it wasn't all that old. Had a few leaves on it so I imagine a turkey hunter dropped it the previous season....on my private property with no hunters allowed...

    You do have good taste in knives, best knife I've ever owned. I've skinned every deer I've shot for the last ten years with it except one.

    it's mine because it has a dull blade on it and it has a hinge on one end and a locking device you have to push to open it. I'll send my mailing info! lol oh, almost forgot if you don't mind can you pick up the freight charge for me as well?

    We called a friend of ours who is a detective in town, and they both went to prison.

    I once got lost on a military base about 20 years ago while bow hunting and found a compass on a logging road trying to walk out.... LOL

    Sad thing was I had no idea what direction I had walked or a line of travel to plot to get back to the truck....

    I still have that compass and use it regularly when hunting un familiar property...

    Found an old turkey striker and took it as a hint and ended up killing one of my birds this spring right where I found that striker. Use to hunt a property along a golf course and found thousands of balls and enough clubs that had the perfect bend that a knee would give that I could have made multiple sets, also a lot of trash thrown into the woods. Funny story from that my first buck with a bow died in the sand trap near green on #3, two guys saw the buck come running out and crash luckily they were both hunters and high fived me and helped me get the deer back to the woods, they may have also slipped me a congratulatory beer before my dad showed up from his spot over the ridge.

    I came across an old house about 600 sq ft that the attic was filled with all kinds of letters. None of what I read looked very important but being so old made it pretty cool to thumb through. It was amazing how preserved some of the letters were...Mostly early 1900's

    My family and I were grouse hunting on our property. I saw something shinny laying under a pine tree. Pick it up. It turned out to be a ox bell from 1876.
