So glad you found it. Losing stuff in the bush keeps me up at night. Losing a forend would cause me many nights of tossing and turning.

Talk about blending in with the cover... It would have been a shame loosing it... Had the same thing happen with one of my favorite field knives... Never did find it and never thought about using a metal detector... What a relief it must have been finding it...

Yup Dilly & Bo, this was on par with the time I came out of the cedar swamp at dusk to realize I no longer had the hunting knife that my father gave me as a teenager. LOOOONG hike back in under darkness to find it right where I left it next to the rabbit guts.

Nothing like a game of hide and seek. Had a gps unit fall out of a pocket and didn't notice until I got back to the vehicle, althought tried to retrace my route couldn't find it. A year later almost to the day hunting the same spot looked down ant there it was- dead with no recovery- but found, had Nova slip his e collar over the summer on a training run. tried to retrace his path and luckly stumbled upon it. Currently have a lost lease in the forest hope to recover it next time out.

I remember being on cottontail hunt on public land and realizing that the compass I wore on a lanyard around my neck was gone. On the next chase I took a position and there, hanging from a branch beside me was a compass on a lanyard. But it was a different compass!!! I guess the forest gods took pity on me that day.

Glad you found it. I lost my hole turkey bag once when hunting with my brother on public land. Because I was holding to much stuff for the both of us, I must of laid it down on the floor. Got home and realize where is my . Looked on 3 different forest and finally found it after giving up walking back to the truck. Sometimes you win, i'm glad you won

Since we are sharing 
I went coyote hunting one day only to discover I was missing the remote to my caller.... I went back to the last farm I was at, It was a week earlier and now a few inches of snow fell since.... Kicked the snow away from where I was sitting and found it, batteries and remote still good.
Glad you found it, looks like it blended right in....

45 minutes of searching turned up nothing. It was hard putting the gun away like this last night:
Went back today with a borrowed metal detector and success!
Must have walked within 2 feet of it 20 times yesterday and never saw it in the depression where it fell. My own depression has now lifted!
Congratulations
