Saw the same elk twice in one month years ago with a broken antler. It was a spike that one antler has cut, half way up. It was still hanging when we went back for elk about 3 weeks later.
Haven't found any actual treasures of any sort yet.

Just remembered another one, and great thread by the way. Ran into a naked guy outside of Goldendale like two miles from the nearest road. He was just standing there, all his clothes piled next to him. This was on Halloween, and it wasn't warm. I think he was on meth. And I found a rifle on top of a Jeep, kinda. I was driving up by Windy point in the rifle deer season and this red jeep comes lumbering down the road at me. I stop, and calmly ask the guy what kind of gun he shoots. He looks at me, wonders what kind of person would ask a stupid question like that to a stranger without saying hello first. Then his face gets red, worried, and he looks in his back seat. A few cusswords later and I start laughing, and tell him his rifle is riding on top of his jeep. It was hilarious. I've also left my Benelli SBE II on my tire, ran over it and left it, only to realize it was gone when I got out at the next pheasant field. Luckily there was like 14" of fresh snow so it didn't hurt the gun at all and that nobody drove down there. How stupid can you be? Wow.
WOW a naked guy!!
funny you say that about the shotgun a watched another guy do the exact same them with his gun on the tire and he drove off I picked up hos gun proppe dit and left to go hunting figuring he would come back NOPE so other theiving *censored* came and got it and then went hunting.....

I ran into a you boy sitting on a stump with his 30-30 crying up a storm. I was 6 miles in. He had shot at and wounded a deer but didn't know where he or his dad was.
When your hand gets healed up enough so you can type easier, do you mind expanding on the story?..
Or maybe you could answer the following questions with 'Y' for yes, N for no.....
1. Did you help the kid find the deer?
2. Did he find the deer?
3. Did you help him find his dad?

the funniest part is the does started up the hill in mule deer form and all stopped at the top of the ridge looking back down at the river and us.
then the sheep took off following suit..
we were laughing when it stopped and turned broadside and looked back too.
poor thing was confused for sure... :chuckle:

Found a nice pair of Redfield Binos in the road right next our camp in E Montana also. I was really digging these. A couple days later a rig pulls up and an old guy comes up asking if we had found a pair of them. Said he thinks he left them on top of the truck. I replied "Was it a pair of black Redfield 10X50"s?". All bright eyed he says "Yeah, Yeah". I replied "Nope, never seen 'em". I gave them back.

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.

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 ).

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.

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.

Post by: Rick on January 30, 2009, 09:46:29 PM
I didn't really "find" them per se, my buddy did the year before and we went back to see them. There are 2 memorial plaques on a bluff in unit 342 overlooking a large portion of unit 346 and Bald Mountain. They have the names of 2 hunters who passed away over the last few years. Kinda cool. I wish I knew the stories behind them. They are very ornate, some really nice woodwork. They are planted in the ground very heavy duty like on 4X4 posts. Someone went to a lot of trouble to get those out there. There's an empty little bottle of wiskey at the base of each of them. I'm sure they were members of one of the camps in the area that have been there forever.
Up towards the top of FSR 530?
I'm pretty sure I've seen them as well.

a hot twenty something running down the trail in a skimpy jogging outfit deep in the Paysayten (a thousand feet above our drop camp) :dunno:.... she was exercising- on a jog. by herself.
a bobcat that was stalking me (small young one)
The best thing was while I was salmon fishing in the middle of nowhere canada - a buddies dad uncovered an entrance to an old sea cave- went inside and found a native burial cave. Complete with bentwood cedar boxes - most were tiny- probably from the small pox that wiped them out when the whites landed. there were also large canoes- like 20-30 feet long propped up high on stumps in the middle of the woods with moss covered skulls and bones in them. I know its not hunting related, but worth telling- he was the first to find it and nobody had been there for a long, long time. It was creepy. :o

I found a rusted out cast iron cook stove and a rusty small wood stove like you'd see in a wall tent complete with rusted out stove pipe. There were old spent shell casings, some were driven into the meat pole. There were empty steel cans and pop or beer cans that were opened with the old style can openers. In the same spot I found some rotted leather horse hobbles, a broken lantern and a small double bitted axe with a rotted handle sunk into a block of wood. I kept the axe head. There was and old meat pole that was near rotten and an old fire pit that contained the old beer or pop bottle caps.
I ran into this old elk camp just after I had two very close encounters/opportunities at a six point bull and another bull that I never could quite see. Both bulls were within 30 - 50 yards screaming at me. Just could'nt close the deal. Then after a very exciting morning at about 10:30am, the elk shut up and disappeared. As I was making my way up out of that hole, I ran across the reminents of the old horse camp. I see why they were there. It was in a small saddle surrounded by three or four drainages that all held elk.
On another trip not far from this old elk camp, we found a set of binos that were almost brand new. My dad still uses them.
Post by: 300rum on February 01, 2009, 02:01:52 PM
I found a fish and bird knife, I always wanted one of those.
Chips where the Indians made arrowheads. I have found two of these areas actually.
A box canyon with a creek and huge pool in the middle of nowhere with all kinds of big trout and not one single Styrofoam worm container.
An axe in a tree, where someone stuck it into the tree with their arm extended. I look in camps all the time.
I went back to where I shot my first deer a year latter and found my binoculars hanging on a limb where we gutted him out. (I didn't even know they were gone, I was probably 10 at the time.)
I lost my wallet hunting one year with two special permits in it. I tore the house apart trying to find that wallet as I didn't even know I lost it in the woods. I got it back a year and a half latter, with the money, in the mail with no info on who found it or where they found it. It was chewed up and pretty rough. I found one small piece a year latter on a trail that I walked regularly, that is the only way I knew I lost it in the woods. I sure would like to thank that guy.
A fish who died trying to eat a fish that was too big for him, it was the weirdest thing, I wish I had a camera. At first I though that I was looking at a fish with two tails.

I cant believe what my wife said to me at first thing she saw it. Well, We were out hunting she spotted something stranger white spot she walked toward to it, At first she thought oh F*&K Its a DEAD chopped head. I thought she was serious. At this moment. Are we supposed to touch or call 911 or just leave it. But she stand by it and try kick it softly and it wasnt REAL >:( Guess what it was a HALLOWEEN SKULL. I believe Coyote carry it somewhere or Raccon or something different animal took it from some one house. It was really FREAK! How can it possible be in middle of whole forest.

About 10 years back, I was out bear hunting on the coast. I parked my truck and started walking through the timber. About 4 hours later, and a couple miles into BFE, i sat down under this tree and was taking my sandwich out of my pack. A pine cone fell on my head, and I looked up and there was another hunter sitting in a freakin tree stand directly above me. Needless to say, I came about as close as I could to SH***IN my shorts, and I took off running and screaming like a little girl, i left my back pack and my binos behind, and dint even think about going to get em. Hope the dude enjoyed em.
