[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2750896, member: 8394"] I'm in my late 30s now. So for the last 10 years all my buddies have ( gotten married/divorced, had kids, then more kids, bought houses, remodeled houses, started businesses lost jobs etc...) so every hunt someone forgets something. Last big one was a state of the art Uber custom all carbon rifle chambered in lord knows what kind of wildcat... with a beautiful box of base up primed/trimmed/prepped brass. I flew 3 hrs in a planes smaller than me with a switch barrel 17 hmr/22 wmr with 50 rounds of 17 and the 22 wmr barrel still on... did a lot of retrieving that week for my friends. Back in 13' or 14' we lost a ton of ammo going through king salmon. Someone was pilfering it at some point, usually they would take all of one cartridge but not the other, always the more expensive would be gone. Several crewman flew in separate from eachother and all had the valuable stuff disappear (one had 250 rounds of 500, but the 9 mm left) fall of 14 I flew through to king cove and ended up sans 2x box's 300 wsm. By then we were savvy enough to take pictures of the gun case and the ammo in the separate bag. Didn't help recover it but did help us know it was gone not left at home. That goofy little ac store had maybe 10 flavors of ammo on the shelf and one happened to be 300 wsm. So I sat in the rain for 10 days with a loaded rifle instead of an empty one... so there was some credence to the old adage. [/QUOTE]
