I lost a sock and t-shirt (different occasions) and suggest that if you find either….leave them laying!
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

I’ve lost lights, reading glasses, but only 1 thing that really bothered me. I got an anodized aluminum pot call last year from a member made by a well respected call maker. Last few days of season it must have fallen out of my vest. I spent several hours retracing every place, path, and set up I could remember with no luck. I’m still sick about it.
I did leave my shotgun leaning against a tree one morning after killing a turkey. I was so jacked up and excited that I walked about 150 yards headed back to the truck before I realized it!

Lost my wallet tracking a deer. Guess it fell out while grabbing some marking paper while having gloves on and didn’t notice. Found it three seasons later tracking another deer. Took the moldy washed up coupe hundred dollars to the bank and they laughed at the story and gave me new. Lost about a 12’ chain one time, found it the next season while tilling plots. Damndest racket I’ve ever heard.

I bring my rifle and a couple extra rounds in my pocket when I go hunting. Turkey hunting, I’ve ditched the vest and just have a fanny pack with just what I need now. Makes it a lot easier on me.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

I guess this has become my new favorite thing to do.  If anyone has any suggestions on how I can be more successful at it please feel free to share. Although I am becoming somewhat of an expert on this subject also. Now I’m not taking leaving things in Shooting houses I’m talking dropping things real good somewhere In The leaves in the woods or even better briar thickets All advice on how I may become better at losing my crap in the woods is welcome. I would also like to Thank all you men for your advice and years of expertise in honing this craft ! 😂 Happens to me all the time. But you learn lessons losing stuff like not to use the slip on buttstock shell carriers. Sometimes stuff gets recovered by that Good Samaritan club member. Gloves are the ones that kill me when you lose 1 of them.

I tote my crap in a backpack works great at keeping your crap in one place just don't lose the backpack I left my backpack on the spare tire of my S10 blazer one year, costed me a bunch of money to replace everything at one time!

Ive transitioned to carrying less stuff. Used to carry a pack full of schitt, most of which I never used.
Now, if it doesn't fit in my pockets or my bino harness, it stays at camp. Me too. Between my safety harness pockets and pants pockets, I can fit everything I need.

I bring my rifle and a couple extra rounds in my pocket when I go hunting. Turkey hunting, I’ve ditched the vest and just have a fanny pack with just what I need now. Makes it a lot easier on me. That reminded me. On more than one occasion while chasing a turkey, I’ve come out of my vest with just my shotgun and a mouth call. After chasing the turkey for a while with no luck, took me an hour to find my camouflaged vest laying up against the tree where I left it.
