In 2012, I found a Garmin 530hcx while walking into the area I was going to hunt for the evening.   When I picked up the radio it was updating someones position.  When I started speaking on it. I think I caught the person on the other radio off guard.  I told him where I was and met him and his partner who actually lost the radio out on the road.  Once we met up I showed them how to poll the location of another radio, a feature they didn't know the Garmin has.   Then we all went our own direction.

Not a hunting story but while I was fishing the Kenai in Alaska I hooked a line that had an $1,100 fly rod and reel with beautiful big chrome bright sockeye still hooked in the mouth swimming around on it.  Landed the fish and the rod and couldn't find anyone who had lost it so I got me a nice salt water series heavy duty fly rod and reel.  The thing was pretty much brand new other than the reel was a little dinged up from bouncing around the bottom of the river.
GO COUGS!

nothing but tracks and poop for me. Saturday morning in the Colockum I heard a buck bugling about 200 yds in front of me down in the valley. Would have loved to take a shot BUT it was FOGGY as hell ever. We should have pursued the area but after sitting there for 3 hours and feeling like we had hypothermia, we decided to go back to camp for fire and breakfast. On the return trip, nothing but tracks again

Never knew bucks bugled!! Learn something new every day!

Few old knives, axe head, abandoned RR track site. Old belt buckles,
Arrow heads around Rosalia as a kid, full mule skeleton unearthed by wind storm.
I think most interesting item(s) were 2 rusted 50 cal rounds way out in desert by Washtucna. Turns out that area used to be used as a impromptu target range for gunners on bombers in the late 30's into 40's. Probably flew out of the old AFB in Ephtata.

Came across an old mine and cabin way up high in Okanogan this year. Might use it for camp next year.
