Title: Found 12g shillapoo wildlife area 11/28
Post by: OrtizG95 on November 28, 2020, 04:49:17 PM: Found around 330pm today. If it’s yours you should be able to describe it well.

If anyone who is part of a hunting group on Facebook see's someone missing a gun I’m sure they would appreciate this info as well! And thank you. I would hope someone would do the same for me.

Post by: OrtizG95 on December 05, 2020, 07:21:14 PM: Owner contacted. Gun returned! Belonged to a gentleman’s father that recently passed away. After pulling my boat out of the ramp into the overflow parking lot at caterpillar island there was a sign for “lost gun” right where I found it. Contacted the owner and confirmed details of the gun and less than an hour later he was returned his piece. Looking like a gained friendship as well!

Awesome 👌

Post by: OrtizG95 on December 05, 2020, 08:35:56 PM: He gave me a huge hug when he came to my place to get the gun. I can only imagine the relief of getting back his late father gun. Such a nice guy and wanted to give me a “reward” but that was so unnecessary especially with the sentimental value I could see it meant to him

Post by: Scruffy on December 05, 2020, 09:13:47 PM: Very good deed to look for the owner and return. :tup: I would have been real leery picking it up and taking it home. Now days you don't know if it was used n a crime. It would be my luck and have my prints all over it. :yike:
