    Well I decided to go out and shoot some this morning figured it was a good time to shoot a few arrows since it wasnt hot yet. So I pull out my bow from my truck and the target from the bed and go at it. After I got done shooting I could not find my cell phone! I usually put it in a pocket on my hip quiver but it wasnt there.

    So now the search begins, I first check inside the house and nothing. Then I go to the truck and nothing. I start to retrace my steps all around the yard with no luck at all. I repeated these steps for about an hour. In the process I cleaned my truck. So as im about to stop for awhile and think of what happened to my phone I go to my truck to shut everything and I start to roll back my cover on my bed and guess what is rolled up in the cover....MY PHONE!

    It was frustrating to say the least. Where have you lost and hopefully found your cell phone at? There has to be some good ones out there. Lets hear them. :tu:

    Kendall lost his while cutting multiflora rose in the upper Sunsinger zone at Allerton. He lost his sunglasses in there too. I don't know if you've been in there yet, but he might as well have dropped it into the lava in Mordor. There's no getting it back and searching is an exercise in self-flagellation.

    For those who aren't familiar with the area... it's a solid sea of thorny rose canes/gooseberry/blackberry. Just looking at it will make you bleed.

    And for me... after dragging a deer out I set my phone on the bed rail of Louie's truck. He drove off before I could grab it and of course I couldn't call him to tell him to stop while he drove off. Luckily the phone fell into his bed rather than out on to the road. :)

    Dropped mine in the creek while crossing it once. Found it as I retraced my steps. Luckily after it sat in a bowl of dry rice for 3 days it stiil worked.

    I didn't lose my phone, but I did have one stolen once. I went to a bar with some friends a couple of years ago. One of my friends was talking to some hag at the bar, and one of the hags friends tried to strike up a conversation with me. Neck tats, missing some teeth, oily hair, she was a real prize. To get away from her, I decided to head to the mens room, unknowing leaving my phone at the bar. I came back, my drink and my phone was gone. :mad: At some point in the middle of the night, she sent a mass text to every female in my contacts about our crazy night of wild sex. Everyone. My mom. My ex wife. My sister.....all of them got the text. That made for some fun conversations the next day when I got a new phone. Ugh.

    I've lost a couple after nights involving lots of beer. My best one though has to be 2 summers ago. I had a lil sand rail buggy and decided to go hit the trails behind where I lived at the time. (all sand trails and whoops along the Little Arkansas River) About 30 minutes it in began to rain, and I mean really rain. I figured screw it, and kept hammerin the buggy for like another hour. Finally I'm soaked and had enough so I haul azz back to the house only to find my phone was missing. After 3 hours in the rain searching the trails and EVERY mud puddle, I head back to the house totally bummed. (BTW the phone was a day old) Only to find the dang thing layin right by where I got off the buggy in the grass. I was so sure I lost it while muddin I never even looked before headin back out after it. I was fumin yet relieved I found it. My wife was laughing hysterically as I attempted to peel off my wet clothes.

    Ha Ha

    I used to lose mine while fishing and hunting all the time, so I finally got an app that makes it play a loud ringtone when it gets a certain text from a number.

    I dont lose my cell phone that often but for me its pocket knives. Ive lost at least 10 in the last 5 years. Part of hte problem with that is i have expensive taste in knives, After using quality cutlery the cheap ones just don't do it for me. So every time I lose one its at least 100 bucks. Right now I have a mini griptillian and so far so good, had it a while now.

    Not really lost because I know where it went but I was unable to get it back. Dropped it down a hole while out ice fishing one night. Was actually able to see it about 15 feet down but not able to get it back. Actually turned out I dropped it just a few feet away from where I dropped a Jack Danials bottle through the ice a few years earlier.

    Haven't lost mine but helped my wife find hers a few times. Hers is the black iPhone and it just disappears whenever you put in on anything black. This is why I have the white iPhone and try to never buy anything in black.

    That sucks. Ive had to help a buddy look for his phone in the rain before and it wasnt fun. It would be even worse looking through puddles and in the mud. Glad you found it. Its in the place you least expect it.
