Strangest thing you have found in the woods/wilderness/desert etc.

Its useless to join in, there's no way I can top that. Coolest thing I found in the woods was a Stihl 032 chainsaw and that just pales in comparison to 20 decomposing deer in a trailer!

I've always wondered WHO the idiot was that decided Poulan needed to make camo chainsaws! Think about it; when you're cutting wood, and you run out of gas, what do you do? You set the SAW down and go get the brightly colored gas can. When you come back...... ever tried finding something camo'd in the woods?

I was about a year out of high school when I had a game warden catch me in what Mr. Graybeard so elquently described as a infragate delicto. Sparing the details, what was even more embarassing than getting caught was the same SOB ran across me in town about a week later with a different girl and felt the need to comment.

Well, I guess that's better than issuing a ticket for stuffing beaver outta season!

Wow, the best I can contribute is that I've found so many pot plants (mostly in Eastern KY  ) while out in the woods that I could have paid cash for my house had I wanted to go that route.   

When I was a kid, I was in a Boy's ranch. They had a problem with the kids smoking pot out there. Well, one day, they sent us out to mend some fence when these kids said something about finding pot plants; nobody beleived them, so they picked it, took it home, and were drying on their desks! When everyone but me had a dirty UA, they got busy on spraying those plants!

My fishing buddy and I are always finding the dead or at least parts of them. Once while fishing the VFW post pond we found a homeless guy who had apparently gotten drunk and drown, he was caught under the dock. We often seine for bait doing this we have found old guns (probably murder weapons), human remains and other strange things. Its odd, we have found so much stuff seining that the police really get tired of us bringing them stuff we have found.

WTH do you fish? New Jersey?

Heres a good one. Back during bow season i found 1/2 of a broken arrow near my stand. I picked it up and stuck it in my stand. Well toward the end of gun season i killed a dear with 1/2 an arrow in its rear flank. Guess what, one and the same arrow. Matched up perfectly. Place had healed up totally with about 11 inches of arrow embedded in its flank.

    I was working for an outfitter near Meeker, Colorado one year, when a father and his sons came out to bowhunt. One of the sons had been sure he shot an elk the previous year, but was unable to recover it. He was so sure, he hunted from the same spot. Well, he ended up shooting a similar looking elk with a scar on his back. When we dressed it out, we found an arrow that matched the set he'd use the previous season! He'd brought them along to compare. (Yes, he had to pay for both trips!)

When I was stationed in Fairbanks AK (Ft. Wainwright)I loved to jump in my truck and explore some of the back roads. One summer day I drove up on 3 five gallon buckets out in the middle of nowhere. I got out of my truck and thought to myself I could use some buckets around the house for odds and ends. All 3 had their lids beat back on and sealed up tight,they also seemed to weigh better than 60lbs. Of course I tried to get the lids off and couldn't, at least not with my hands. I thought to myself I had something behind my seat that could open them up in a hurry. So I pulled out my 300 mag, took a lean off of the drivers side mirror and shot the nearest bucket about 30ft away. At the shot it pratically exploded and my first thought was cool that was neat !!! Then it started to rain down something brown and rank smelling. Yep thats right, sh_ _  just showered down on my truck and even a bit got on my favorite WV hat. After a good deal of cuss'n I backed the truck up quit a ways and shot the other two, they were also full of crap. From what I could tell it was dog crap, no I didn't taste it or cut open a turd and do a autopsy or anything, just went by observation. Lots of sled dogs up that way, could have been someone cleaning up the pin or a soldier that lived on post that is forced to clean up after their dog daily and saved up 15 gallons of dog turds. I always leaned towards the latter. I learned two things that day. 1. On a warm summer day rotting dog crap sealed up in a bucket is under a lot of pressure and when released with a 30 caliber bullet sends it everywhere. 2. If you happen to come upon a bucket and decide to open it with a bullet, do it from at least 50yds away.   Dave

I just woke my wife up, I was laughing so hard!
