Ever Misplace A Rifle in your Home

I road my 4 wheeler out of the swamp fom hog hunting one night in the pouring rain. I put my bow on top of my dog box then loaded the 4 wheeler on my trailer and tied it down. When I got home and reached in my back seat to get my bow it wasn't there. Uh,oh, I found it, or pieces of it I should say, scattered all over the highway where it had fallen off my dog box and apparently been run over several times. Somehow the sight had survived. But that was all that was salvageable. I had had that bow less than a month.
As far as guns, my little snubnose 38 has been temporarily lost a time or two. Usually in a rod or storage box on my boat.

How many rifles has this guys lost?
 
I was cleaning out my bedroom in my parents house packing up after I got married and found a new 10/22 still in the box I had purchased a couple years prior. Completely forgot I'd bought it.

I'm not sure how many glock 19's I have. Started out to buy one for each room in the house but why stop there? Found a brand new one in the safe the other day I didn't know I had while looking for a different gun.
 
Pilsner,Thats what I thought, that I lost my pistol in shop.Spent many a time looking, did I stick it in a hunting boot, etc.Then spent time looking in my p/u camper, that has 4 tool boxes...ya

3 years ago up near Tensleep a buddy shot a cow elk. There was about 3 ft. of snow in the lower area down and up to elk near the top. I was working on the elk and one of the knives was a Outdoor Edge Skinner. The kind with handle fits in your palm. Not an exchange blade. He borrowed then laid on the ground in the snow. When done I threw everything in my pack, even the empty knife case. I thought about it for a second and figured I put in the pack with the other knife I was using . Got home and I thought about it and asked buddy if he picked up the knife. No. Couldn't find it. Figured it was laying out there in the snow. Guess we'll go back in the spring. April we went out there. He marked spot on GPS. Still took awhile but found bone pile. There was the knife. Not a speck of rust on it. I was mad about losing it so I had bought another. Now I have 2 😉
