I had one of the owners wives of a property I hunted gathering persimmons and drop her britches to pee. I was in a climber hunting right near said tree. I've found pot patches, moonshine stills, and some ladies undergarments.

Y'all have outdone yourselves here. I thought I would take this trophy with ease. Years ago hunting on a new spot on the farm ran across a prosthetic leg with a new balance shoe. Nothing like walking in in the pitch black and your flashlight hits a shoe reflector.
I'm wondering why you are looking for one ...

After reading @Spurhunter post for years, I'd bet he's put those words together at some point.

Should probably give it another year..
In the early 90's we were elk hunting in Colorado.. we packed in and set up camp.. never saw a single sign that anyone had ever been in the area.. no cans, bottles, no cigarette butts.. no tracks .. nothing.. the closest pay phone was 75 miles away.. one day I was walking through a growth of pine or spruce.. not sure which one.. and I spotted something shiny.. went over to it.. it was a chrome 25' true value tape measure … how or why it was there out in the middle of absolutely nowhere still amazes me!

I love these threads. On another site I read about a photographer lady who would backpack solo for weeks at a time. She backpacked Northern California for about a week and developed her film as soon as she got back. Scattered among her photos were pictures of herself sleeping taken from above. Some weirdo followed her, snuck in her tent, and photographed her every single night.

I wish I had a good story to add, but I've sure enjoyed reading these.
Last year on Fort Bliss while hunting the McGregor range, came across several "exploded" missiles but it wasn't a surprise. One had a pretty cool optics system in the front. They made it clear not to take or touch anything,

no way!
Hunting Percy Priest wma one time found a container that had various items in it. Had no idea what it was but somebody said it was a cache where you put em out and see where they end up. Wasn't that odd in the end but yall have definitely had some crazy experiences.

Because everyone else is finding them. Duh!I'm wondering why you are looking for one ...
When I was 16, me and a bud were wandering thru the woods and happened upon a working still. We took the opportunity to fill it full of .22 holes. As we were laughing, we heard the owners running thru the woods. We made haste!
Nothing too crazy.
As the crow flies, I was about a mile from my house. I found a golf ball that a dog had dragged off. It had teeth marks on it, and it had my initials on it. Not completely strange, but slim odds of stumbling across it in the middle of the woods.
Also I was walking through the woods with a .22 once with my dad. We found a 6pt buck laying on the ground. It wasn't dead, and it wasn't deer season. It had no visible injuries. It just couldn't move. It was dying. Weird. That was probably 25-30 years ago, way before CWD was a thing in TN.

When I was about 14 me and my dad went hunting on Rockwood airport back in the 90s. Well one morning we walked up to the runway and they was bales of hay so we set on them waiting for daylight to see of any deer crossed runway. When it got daylight those bails of hay was bales of pot

I just remembered something else I found.
The TVA land I hunt used to belong to my great grandfather...prior to TVA taking it.
There is a civil war battlefield very nearby. Back in the day, there was a railroad that ran through there...under the lake now.
Years ago, I stumbled across a pile of railroad "artifacts". Mostly some signage and some kind of steel balls..about 6-8" in diameter. Thinking they were some kind of lanterns... Looked like maybe at one time had a wick in them..and they were hollow. I looked through the stuff but left it there.
Might need to go see if I can re-find it.

I'm lost. I don't even know if that's a compliment or an insult!
