Who has lost or found a shotgun while hunting? My first shot gun a jc penny .410 was found in the road ditch in front of my grandparents farm place. I've never found one but would probably sit there for awhile to see if anyone came looking for it.
 
I found a Browning over/under in the ditch while quail hunting a couple years ago. I called the sheriff when I got home and gave vague details and my number if anyone called looking. It took about a week but an older gentleman called and that gun had been a wedding anniversary present to him from his kids. He had leaned it against the truck while loading his dog. The road grader passed as I was hunting and I wondered if that old man would have gotten that gun back if I hadn't found it first. Figured the hunting gods owed me a close flush or 2 for that one

I thought you meant a bird....Yesterday I had 4 birds in my vests 1 which was still alive. As I was driving down the road I pulled the bird out and gave him the squeeze. Put him back in my vest. Got to where we going to clean the birds walked inside and only had 3 birds in my vest. Went back to vehicle and #4 was in between the seat and center console. How i don't know.

My dad had a co-worker that hunted in Iowa, the guy was somewhat of a jerk. During a hunt he killed 2 birds in the morning and dropped them off in his suv at lunch, he hunted the afternoon and killed his third. When he returned to his suv he only could find one bird from the morning, after an extensive search of the vehicle he gave up. He hopped in the front seat and started the suv. He turn the fan up on the heater and feathers blew out of the vents......The rooster founds it way up into his dash, he had to take his suv to the dealer to get the bird out! Imagine explaining that to the dealership......I figured it was karma for how he treated people......

K5?
 
I found a Browning Citori laying off a gravel road a few years ago. I drove to the nearest authority and told them and by that time, the police were already notified of the hunters loss. He was notified I had it and he called me to set up a meet. The gentleman had laid it on top of a dog box and got into the truck, forgetting he left it there at the time. (The second time I've heard of that happening..!)

I met the man and only asked for the serial # and he had it. He was happy to get his shotgun back, as I would have been too.

It's funny as I see him every once in a while in the same area. All's well that ends well...
