While I was Hunting...

[Armadillo]

Nearly every hunting trip I always come across popped balloons. Found a tent, fishing poles, a few pairs of sunglasses, a couple of camo headnets, random unopened bottles of water, lots of old wrecked cars.

Something that still baffles my dad and I is last dove season we saw about 7 hispanics out in the middle of a huge patch of sage brush all carrying fishing poles (no tackle boxes or anything) and all wearing the same yellow outfits. There was no water around

I took him with me and helped him track down and dispatch his deer.  It was his first.  Whenwe got to where the deer lay, he recognized where he was and where he was supposed to meet his dad.  I let him go after he tagged his deer and I helped him gut it.

I have found many things but a plane wreck was the most interesting.

[uncoolperson]

wasn't hunting, but hiking years ago on kodiak island.

saw a bear skeleton so we walked up thinking it'd be cool to grab the skull and noticed a human skeleton under the bear skeleton with an old rusty blackpowder rifle in the pile.

in our genious teenage super idealistic sorta way we figured it's old, best to leave him and his gun alone. and walked away, I wish cellphones had cameras back in those days.

I still say if I ever go like that I'd hope people would do the same and leave me be (years after the fact, days or weeks is different ).

Is that the only picture with the N number? I have ways of finding out the history of that plane if you have the complete N number.

When climbing, I found an old ultralight crash up by Mt Washington. The gross part was the mangled eyeglasses frame I found with hair stuck in the hinge. I still have them somewhere in a box.... 

And yes, I reported...

Remembered a few more of my dads: One time while he was goat hunting, he was glassing and saw something red under a cliff from two miles away, so he got a different few, and saw what appeared to be an arm, and a leg 15 ft. appart, so my uncle, who was hunting with him, hiked out and called the cops, they ropped down the cliff and found a hiker who had gone missing the year before, and a bear had found her...

Also, one time he was elk hunting in Oregon, and had hiked in ten miles, and was coming back, in the dark, and was still 4 miles from camp, in an area he had never been, and he walked into a clearing, and in his headlamp, walked up on a OLD abandoned cabin, so they went in and spent the night, the next morning, they discovered it had a toilet, and a shower, and a cubard full of old sardines, they were so hungry they ate them all, then when the explored outside, they found a spring, with tubing going down to the cabin.  The next year they went back and found a case of whiskey stashed in the attic.

Found a pair of small binoculars, a legal 3 pt that was stuck on a fence and died. Some poped balloons, and old rock well.

Here is what I found on that plane.

Does that sound about right for the location?

Jeep,
  Thanks for the info, it does look correct. The plane is in a canyon a couple miles below my Grandpa's old Elk camp and looking at the date of the wreck I am guessing the plane was flying low looking for Elk during season and couldn't climb fast enough to get out of the canyon.

Any other aircraft pics?

Things I have found while hunting. I found myself "disoriented while hunting Elk in Oregon. I found a K-bar knife and a military compass while hunting sheep on the big Island of Hawaii. Pot plants here in Wash., a fine fly fishing pole while fishing at Hihume lake in Canada,(caught the floating line with my sink tip) A Shrade lock kinfe in Hawaii, a nice Mitchell 300 spinning reel laying in the trail in Alaska. An old loggers two hand saw still stuck in a tree, the tree had grown around it. A vintage brass fish rod holder way up in the mountains in W. Wash., lottsa old bottles, cans and lanterns at mining camps in Alaska. Dynamite in a minig shaft off Chinook pass. Some more pot, dried and in a baggie,a horse shoe, fossils. And I also have lost more than I've found.

I was working on a wilderness trail crew in the Naches district... found a case of beer and a bottle of tequila in a stash up the Rattlesnake River.... didn't get much work done the next day.

I went back to where I shot my elk a couple years ago and found that apparently many others have shot animals there. I found a spent shell casing for a 300 win... 3 times, one for a 30.06, 4 times, and one for a .270... 3 times. Everytime I found one I'd toss it to the side and a few minutes later i'd find it again. Never did find the shell casing from my gun.
