Yelm Hunter, last year you started an exact thread like this...and didn't post anything in it and it got into sort of a pissing match at times.....  Anything new to add for this year?  :dunno:  Just sayin'.....
 
For me, found a really cool old porcelainized kitchen stove up in the Manastash...behind where we like to camp in the spring. It was missing alot of parts, but would have made a great winter project... It was there for years. I should have grabbed it, but someone finally took it home...

Found 3 silver dollars on a rock peak overlooking Jordan valley out of packwood.  We were in 6" of fresh snow with big snow drifts in spots.  Stopped for lunch to glass the valley on some wind blown rocks and there lay 3 silver dollars?  Never saw a deer one.

$20 bill, a few arrows, a hatchet, my Enumclaw wrestling sweatshirt I lost the year before, a pile of old playboys up past Wilkeson and a full coor's light mini keg when floating the green last summer.

a backpack and clothing with all of someones personals including 2,000 dollars cash. The deputy got back to me and said it was a mental patient that they caught up with in georgia. Three poached deer with antlers removed of course, and I kid you not another hunter taking a crap in the woods.(talk about awkward) :sry:

I found a huge pot grow, complete with what looked like a booby trap (random steel wire strung tight across the trail)... I  called the police on that one as soon as I got back home.

I ran into a group of "big foot researchers" once while hiking.  on the hike back I pulled off my size 14 EEEE hiking boot and stuck my big bare foot in a drying mud puddle. :chuckle: I really couldn't help my self, so I made faux squatch tracks in two more spots along the trail.

This wasn't out by the Lincoln Cliffs near Roosevelt was it?  Me and a buddy were driving home from turkey hunting out that way one year and came around a corner to find a garbage can legs sticking out of it.   :yike: :yike:Turns out it was a female mannequin that had been used for target practice.

Golf balls, game tracker flashlight in a stump, arrows, my pocket knife that I lost earlier in the year, old coal mine shafts and rusty camp garbage- nearby railroad tracks sticking out the front of a beaver pond, homemade grain feeding stations X2, old wooden tree stands- shot a deer from one of them.

Oh, and cool rocks- pound for pound I think I pack as many rocks out as game meat!

Heard a crash and some banging  three four years ago behind my treestand, i got ready as i thought some elk were on the move. I turned around to see a younger guy running down the trail right towards my tree. Of course he stopped under me and proceeded to drop his drawers in a hurry before he squated i whisled and tossed a empty chew can right beside him. I figure he messed himself a little cause when shes moving shes moving, ive been there. Poor guy pulled em' up and wasn't moving to fast after.  :dunno: I

Me and a buddy found a little loop trail behind a gate recently. Someone had stapled several different bras, panties, lingerie, and men's underwear all of various sizes on the trees every 5 ft. It was pretty creepy.
