lost my swarovskis

Ouch!

Dang, there's some really good stuff laying out there in the hills going to waste.

One of our elk clients lost his 10K Rolex watch on the mountain a couple years ago!!

I'm hoping Karma will kick in. My name and phone # were on them. I know, I know, dumb move. It will be a few Christmases before I will afford a new pair. When I bought them, they cost me $850 or so. Now $1500 ouch.
 
A guy took a $10,000 Rolex with him on an elk hunt?? That is the kind of jewelry you leave at home in the safe if you are going to go on a hunt. If the shoe fits....

LAST EDITED ON Jan-09-08 AT 12:38PM (MST)[p]HAAAAAA!. i totally agree people!!

That $10K watch was nothing, you should have seen the "ice" on this woman that hunted elk with us this fall, that diamond on her finger was so big it looked like a fake from a gumball machine, it even made the 2ct diamonds in each of her ears looks like dust!!

Too some people, a 10K watch is like a timex to others.

Hell, i don't even wear a watch!!
(anyone know what time it is!!:)

how can some people lose such stuff?
I once "forgot" to grab my Vuarnet sunglasses by putting down on a rock by a stream during a hike out of the wilderness and went back during hunting season and "remembered" them!
as far as binos use straps.....

that would make a person sick. Hopefully some good samaritan will call you with them.
 
I FEEL YOUR PAIN!I LOST MY 15X56'S EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN I WAS RIDING MY QUAD SCOUTING FOR DEER.I WAS FORTUNATE TO BACK TRACK 3 MILES AND FOUND THEM LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DIRT ROAD.LUCKILY NO ONE RAN OVER OR FOUND.WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD IF YOU HUNT OR GLASS ALOT.
 
I WOULD NOT SPEND 10K TO KNOW THE TIME OF DAY, BUT I WOULD SPEND IT ON HUNTIN TRIPS OR GEAR.......PRIORITIES I GUESS....YD.
 
I know of a guy that lost his ziess A few years back...He claimed them on his home owners and they bought him a new pair.

My friend carried his binoculars (Swarosvskis of some sort) as a carry-on while flying back home from an-out-of state hunt. While waiting for the plane, he set his bag with the binocs in them down next to him in a chair and read the paper. When they opened the plane for boarding, he closed his newspaper and got in line. Once back in Phoenix, he remembered his bag sitting back at the airport. Of course he called the airport, but it was really only to confirm that they were gone forever.

Two years prior to that, he had me stop along the road near the South Fork of the Boise so he could glass a hillside. He glassed with his awesome brand new pair of 15X56 Zeiss while I fiddled around with something mechanical on the truck. Before we left, he got out and took a leak or something and got back in the truck. Back home, 250 miles later, he remembered that he left those binocs sitting on the roof of my truck. They, too, were gone forever. In two years, he lost about $3000 worth of glass. He has the funds, but it still pinched him pretty good.

good luck! sometimes the things you think you'll never misplace, you misplace! this year on an elk hunt in idaho, i got back from a day hunt and was loading gear into the truck, pulled my leica rangfinders off my belt and placed them on the bed rail, well by the time i got eveything loaded i had forgot about them, and didn't miss them till i got home! i was returning in a few days, but had chalked them up to a loss as there was a deer and an elk season on. well they got snow that night and dusted them over, found them two days later right were i had pulled on the main road!

I have not ever been in that area but my father and I always put in for Nevada and sometimes we apply for that area. If I'm ever in that area and find them I will let you know.


I hope you or someone finds them.

Time to buy a watch!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i lost my rangefinder on the bow hunt this year. even though it was just the bushnell yardage pro (under $200), i still had a horrible pit in my stomach. now i carry my new leupold so tight that i'll never loose another thing again!

worst feeling ever.

On our Dec. Deer hunt this year we had tagged out for coues and spent the next days hunting mearns, After going up and down a couple of draws, I stopped to take the long john shirt off and left my 10x40 swarovskis habichts on the ground on a hillside in tall grass. After about 45 minutes and 8 quail later I realized that I did not have the binocs with me. After an hour of searching I had given up and was going to walk up to the 2-track to mark the spot so I could come and search on later trips and found them!!!!
I feel for you.
 
I left two flash drives in a computer in a Chicago hotel a couple of weeks ago while I was at a conference. They weren't worth a lot of money for sure, may $40 to replace them. But they had over two years of research on them (that I did have backed up - always always always backup to multiple places!!) but there were a lot of files that it would take me a long to time duplicate and some recent stuff that was only saved on those two disks! Plus some stuff that I haven't copywrighted yet but will eventually. It could have been a disaster. Anyway, they were returned to me today. Some other conference attendee found them and sent them back to me. MAN am I breathing a sigh of relief! So see - there are some honest folks out there! Hopefully someone will return them to you.

Just an idea but next time around get them insured. I insured my Leica spotter, and two sets of binos for about $100 per year. If they're dropped, broke, stolen, lost, whatever, they're covered for full value.
 
I will be out there monday chuckar hunting did you happen to lose them in the petterson range.
 
HEY SLAMDUNK...
He brought the ROLEX along because it was going to be your TIP!
But you seemed happy with the used mouth call and a pkg of SlimJims you got instead!

------------------------------------------------------
By the way,
I live in UT.
There are a lot of UTARDS that live here.
I have also seen quite a few WYOMORONS, NEVADUHNS, COLORADORKS, ID-IOTS and AIRHEADZONANS in my travels.
 
Well........look at the bright side, at least nobody has asked you to send them the case....there's always hope. Good luck.
 
I lost my billfold once when I lived in Reno and my boss found it and I ask where and he said under his bed ..........
I moved back to bay area that weekend!
I WAS 22!

Its amazing what's floating around out in the hills that has been lost. I have a 119 Buck knife that my dad found out riding. It had been there so long the leather case had rotted to just the snap around the handle but the knife was in great shape, no rust at all. One of our hands found the remains of an old winchester rifle (lever action, octagon barrel), all the wood had rotted away but the metal parts all remained. It was really rusted up. I have always wanted to try and get into the feeder tube to see if there is still ammo in it. On the opposite end, I lost my GPS this year elk hunting in Nevada. It fell out of my pack while taking it off somehwere. If you find it, enjoy!
 
I found three rifles and two sets of binoculars on the side of the road one year. We were the last ones in this particular place and someone had left this stuff on the road for some odd reason. One pair of binoculars were 10x42 Zeiss Victorys. Anyway, we decided to take them to the nearest Sherrifs office and then put a post on this sight as well as a few others. We were just about to pull onto the paved road when a guy on an ATV stops us and asked if we saw any guns on the side of the road. Eveidently his kids left this stuff there when they were being shuttled out of the woods one at a time on the only ATV they had. That guys lucky we were'nt one minute sooner or we would have been gone.
 
I lost a .22 Pistol one year lookin for sheds. Backtracked almost 3 miles and found it layin next to some sage bruch. I feel your pain. Best of luck!

I have a good friend that lost his GPS this year. He had me set it up with the mapping system when he got it. I also entered this as the opening message when you turn it on. " If you find this in a pile of bear *hit keep it and call my widow @ 541 372 -**** and let her know I'm dead. Other than that please return it". A few weeks after he lost it , his wife told him that she got strange call that a guy found his GPS and it wasn't in a pile of bear *hit!.
 
I feel your pain, I once lost my Swarovskis and a Range Finder off my truck tool box (forgot a left them when I drove home).

Sold two guns to replace them - it was worth it as good glass is a must.
 
No luck yet Steve. There is still quite a bit of snow out there and we got some more yesterday. My son has pretty good eyes for this kind of thing though, so if they are out there, we'll find them.

This year while archery hunting in Butte Montana my buddy left his Bowtech Bow in his black case on the tailgate of our truck. We took off for hunting and he realized his bow was gone. He lost it in the parking lot of the local archery shop in town. No one turned it in. Bow was gone and we were a long way from home in Washington. Sucks to be him.
 
Rack....is that a true story or are you just BSing us? If that's true, you da man :)
 
I lost my Garmin Rino GPS on a horseback trip last summer. It gave me an excuse to get the new improved version. My wife asked me if I lost the old one on purpose so that I could get a new one. Thats funny but no I didn't. The old one cost about $250.00 and that hurts. I can't imagine losing my swaro's. fatrooster.
