Someone lost a shotgun

Saw this posted at a FFTH field on the Yakima Reservation today.  Thought it was a lost dog sign at first glance, till I saw the picture of the shotgun.  Not sure how you lose a shotgun..

That sucks. I learned to never put my gun down in the tall grass out there ... it would be fun to bring a metal finder out there.

good way to pick up a lot of hulls

This happens more than you might think. I had a buddy find a shotgun worth around $1,800.00 bucks or so this year and he was able to locate the owner. HOW DO YOU LEAVE YOUR SHOTGUN IN THE FIELD?

I think a lot of guys prop them up on the truck tire then drive off

I wish I had that kind of money where I could just leave guns behind.

The Winchester 101 is probably worth at least a grand. Hope he finds it.

I lost my browning 20 guage years ago along the tuccannon road ,I was neither stoned or drunk.I was in a hurry and ticked off because my springer gave me the doggie bird.We'd got back to the truck,I put the gun on top of the canopy,opened the canopy and the dog took off down and across the road hunting again.I got him corralled,had to go get him,by the time we got back to the truck again,I was plenty mad at him,put him in the back,shut the canopy and moved on down the road to hunt quail before it closed for the day.Got to that spot and reached for a gun that wasn't there,HAULED the freight back to the other spot to find two fresh skidmarks and a tiny piece of the plastic buttplate,never saw the gun again.I've been paranoid as to where the gun and dog collars are ever since.I check 3 times everytime.

I nearly lost mine about 10 years ago (not drunk or stoned either). After the hunt I posed my dog with the birds and gun (I was hunting solo). In the process of getting the birds and dog put away, i forgot about the gun and drove off. Fortunately I was staying just 30 minutes away and when I drove back the gun was right where I left it. Whew, a close one!

Back in the day, while in the Army. The company came back to the barracks to clean up and go home only to find someone lost a M-16. Locked down the company and headed back to the field only to find it leaning up against the tree that he took a leak behind.

The thing that really sucked about mine was it was an O/U. I called the insurance company as a hope,and was pleasantly surprised that it was covered.I was told it happens more than one thinks.Was very happy that I got it replaced for just the deductable.

If you are a NRA member you are covered for gun loss/theft as part of membership, just another good reason to join.
