Weird, cool stuff you found in the woods.

I can’t remember when I first started chasing critters in the woods. I got a fiberglass bow at 10, and I used to chase deer with it in the wood lots adjacent to our apartment in suburban D.C. I’ve been practicing and hunting with a bow for over 45 years. I shoot broadheads year-round with a beat up set of the same heads I hunt with. There’s a significant time investment in swapping out blades and getting them out of the target. The whole time thinking about being out there waiting on the big one. I still get buck fever after all these years.

So when I pick one of these up, I can’t help but think of the last human hand that touched them. Maybe a thousand years ago. They, working on them and as excited about hunting as I get. Gives me chills!

 

Today I found....

A treestand


A camera


A shed


A weird bone of some sort


A....golf ball


An abandoned seat and water bottle that some dick left out there


And some sort of underground water thingy

 

Did you moon the camera?

 

That took longer than it should have…

 

We, in TW, are above such crude behavior ... Anton the butler will see you out now.

 

You must be hanging out in different areas of TW than I am.

'58 Chevy Belair... or Biscayne?

 

I think 58 Chevy according to @RustyGreen

1958 Chev in the price leader, bottom of the line Del Ray trim, the last year for this model name.

With minimal trim & rubber floor mat this model was popular with fleet buyers like taxi & police departments, if you watch TV/movies from this era they are often seen in these roles.

Seeing as the original owner paid for the optional two tone paint job in #936 Snowcrest White over #903 Glen Green this wasn't a fleet car - just bought by an economy minded person.

 

Great info . I always wonder what the story is behind these vehicles found back in the woods . My uncle used to own the local golf course a few miles from my house and there was a car in the woods off the 13th fairway that looked like a Bonnie and Clyde era car . Plus it was full of bullet holes . Hunters and target practice I presume . There was a hunting / game preserve bordering the golf course . Wish I had a picture of that car . It was back in the 80s when I used to see it .

 

Several years ago while upland bird hunting up in Northern Maine (I was in the woods with my dogs) I heard a loud commotion off in the distance, with crashing sounds. It lasted about 15-20 minutes. It was two Bull Moose fighting. I didn't make my way to the area immediately (for safety reasons). I waited about an hour. I worked my way out to a logging road and the road was all torn up, probably a 30' stretch. I found this brow tine laying in the road. Hard to imagine the force to break one of these off.

 

Found someone's abandoned camp site in remote central Nevada. Even found a well faded but intact Patagonia backpack and tent that was taken down, when I first arrived upon this I thought I was going to come across body remains. Someone was in a hurry when they left, makes you wonder. There is a small waterfall next to the site that also had a ladder setup near it, with a much older wooden ladder behind it.

 

Where does the ladder go to? And I'd be wondering about a body too...
