Was hunting 8-12/8-14 area this past week, on my way out of the timber through a cutblock in the dark my Binos somehow slipped out of the chest holder. If anyone finds a set of Binos in the Crystal Butte area please let me know

Oh no! I hope this thread has a happy ending. Did you post it up on any of the Facebook hunting groups? If not, let me know if you want me to post it up.

There's over a dozen cut blocks on and in the vicinity of Crystal Butte. What direction of the peak do you think you lost them?

Done!

"LOST BINOS: One of our fellow hunters (not a member of this group) and a great standup fella was hunting 8-12/8-14 area this past week (not from the area) On the way out of the timber through a cutblock in the dark his Binos somehow slipped out of the chest holder. If anyone finds a set of Binos in the Crystal Butte area please shoot me a PM. It's a long shot but figure I'd put it out there... who knows! https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t4c/1/16/1f642.png"

I'll let you know if I hear anything from it... fingers crossed!

It was the north west side, end of the road and then at the bottom of the ridge to the right of the top of the block. They’re probably under a log somewhere, I went back the next day and searched but no luck

Maybe a friend could help you search? I lost my gps once and went back and retraced my steps (hard to do as I was bush whacking) but I found it. Hours of my time are definitely worth the cost of a higher dollar item.

Good luck

I’ve been close- I have a habit of not buckling my bono harness closed and have had them come out in the past when leaning over. Hope you get them back.

I inadvertently left a pair of Swarovski binos on top of the Rhino a few years back on the Redfern trail. Was a good distance down rough trail before I realized my error. What a gross feeling that was. Luckily we had a couple dirt bikes in the group so I jumped on and blasted back as quick as I could and found them, unscathed, along the trail. Happy times.

Then I lost them a couple years later. Bad times again.

I hope you find yours, good luck.

They weren’t hugely expensive by any means, BX2’s but I’m gonna have to save up before I can buy another pair. Sucks with there still being a month left of black tail season on the island, I really relied on them when still hunting the thick crap

What’s the deal with binos in that area?? I loaned my spare pair to one of my hunting partners when we were literally standing on the boundary of 8-12 and 8-14 between Beaverdell and Westbridge this time last year. Yup. He lost them! Mine were Bushnell compacts, so no great loss (that’s why they were loaners), but that place is the Bino-muda Triangle!

Oh, you didn’t take your avatar buck moments before losing the binos?

Losing stuff totally sucks! Please let us know what make/model of chest harness you were wearing. Others might want to avoid them...
