Found

[RobG]

Long shot, but here goes.

My wife and I were out grouse hunting up the Gallatin when all of a sudden we got a whiff flowing down the mountain side. "Good God, that smells like a typhoon of top ramen, granola bars, powerade and Mountain house," my wife said. "And lemonaid puke mixed with greasy grimy goat guts," I added. We agreed something aweful must have happened here so we ran away, but I tripped over a black bag.

Any of you dumb chits drop a black bag?

Sounds familiar but I cannot place where I heard about someone losing one.

Rob, my mind is the kind that needs closure. You know all the questions I always have. You cant cant go into all that detail over what smelled and not investigate/explain what that was. Frick, now I have a loose end in my brain.

Mystery Ranch Gypsy Homestead?

 

[RobG]

I guess the guy only had one leg because there was one gaiter and one sock.

I found some shaggy manes too. No grouse though.

Dumb Chit- "Here!"

 

[Gerald Martin]

You are the MAN!

 

[MinnesotaHunter]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Gerald you need to provide some feedback on that prototype pack of yours...

Nice find Rob, I guess Gerald will be mailing you the matching gaiter.

 

[Baerman]

What are the odds of that happening?! Nice find!

 

[RobG]

If any of you guys go back up there my wife's bear spray slipped off the waist-belt when she took off her pack....

I received this pm from Rob the night we wrote up Randy11's goat hunt.
"Randy11 told me you were at the top of ******* Creek so I'm not trying to steal a spot . Give me the coordinates of where you lost your pack and I'll take a hike up there Monday or Tuesday.

I had a great hike up ****** trail today but I could use another excuse to get out again. Surely Randy N. left me a grouse or two."

Baerman, random coincidence would be amazing but what is more amazing to me is when a total stranger volunteers his time and energy to find something I stupidly lost. Hunttalk is an amazing community and Rob G is very generous to volunteer to find it for me. Thankyou, Rob G!

That place must be a gear sucking vortex.

What else can a guy do on a rainy day? Wish I had more time to make it to the ridge but I had to be back for the daughter's piano lessons. I've been back in that area once before; it is quite a trek before you even left the road.

That is two I've lost that way (and almost a third, but I found that). I finally figured out that it can't fall off if you wrap the elastic band around the beltstrap several times then snap it back to the holster... but forgot to tell my wife.

 

[Randy11]

Ha! You the man Rob! That's awesome.

I would've bet even if we went back we wouldn't have found it.

 

[brownbear932008]

LOL Guess you got a set of gaiters out of that grouse trip.....

 

[mtmiller]

That is awesome. Well done Rob.

 

[ashersdad]

Haha. Now that is funny. Nice.
