lost my spotting scope in the entiat
« on: October 21, 2013, 09:53:52 AM »
Last Friday (oct. 18) a couple buddies and i hunted the the potato creek road.  after a morning hunt we drove up the road to move a little higher pulled over pulled out the spotter did some glassing got to talking and just drove away.  Left my spotter all set up on the side of the road.  Just thought I'd post on here in hopes one of you honest guys happened to find it

Guess you will be in the market for a new one unfortunately
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Any chance it could still be where you left it.  If you have not checked maybe someone can go look.  Unless you were directly on the road it could be missed by others.   :dunno:

That sucks. Was all over that area thurs. Through yesterday. Didnt see it. Did find a nice 4x4 with eye gaurds though!

My kid lost his garmin rino while we were dragging the buck out. Thankfully I was able to poll its position and go find it.

Then when we broke camp he realized he didn't have his range finder. Had to drive all the way back up to where he last used it. Fortunately it was still there. Added an hour and a half to our trip home though.

Hope your able to get your scope back
