Found set of binoculars

[hunter99]

My brother and sister in law found a set of binoculars west of Williams Lake and would like to get them back to their owner. If these are yours or if you know of someone that lost a set please PM me with the make, model and power, make of harness and general area they were lost/found. Thank you

Man I was hoping these were a set of vortex vipers 6x42 that I lost 4or5 years back. Man I miss those binoculars, but they weren’t lost anywhere near Williams lake.

Do they look old? I know of a pair that was lost near Big creek but that was about 10? years ago.

[wideopenthrottle]

as mentioned...good on you for making the effort to do the right thing...I once found a cheap set of bushnells but they had been run over a few times so not much worth returning

I lost a pair of Swaro SLC a bunch of years ago, 8 power. Nowhere near Williams Lake.

That stung.

I was hoping it was a set of vortex talon 10x42 that I lost a few years ago outside of McBride... the ones you've found are not mine

[hunter99]

Pretty sure they were lost earlier this year. They are in new condition.

Dang, I lost a pair probably 8 years ago now, left them hanging in a tree at eye level but couldn't find them. In the Kelowna area.

Good on you for posting that you found a pair. I lost an expensive pair this spring in Revelstoke. Long shot but worth a mention! ��

[Treed]

How did you guys lose your binos? Leave them on the truck roof and drive off?

[ursus]

Yep edge of the box while getting a cold one from the cooler. ��

Years ago I was in the habit of strapping my Bino’s to the back of my left hand. That way they wouldn’t clatter around my chest and were always be available for glassing brush every few steps. I thought I was being brilliant, and generally it worked quit well. Until the time I went to use my binos and they weren’t there. I tried to remember where I had last been sitting down and would have put them down to have both my hands free. I retraced my steps as best I could, but they were gone to the under brush. The real sad part is that this was not the first time I had done this with them and not the last time I pulled this same move (with much cheaper binos). The shame of it was those binos could pick things up in low light easily that my scope struggled with. I bought them from the US on a great sale, back when the Canadian dollar was higher than USD. I doubt those stars will align again. Now I use a monocular that is strapped to me kind of like kindergarten kids and their mittens on a string.

I’ve left way too many things on trucks, cars etc. If I put it on a vehicle now it goes in front of the drivers side on the hood. I still find myself getting in the truck and going ‘shit, I left my … on the hood’

^^^^^Yup.
Lots of people i know lost their stuff because they left it "0n the truck"....not "in the truck", especially during hunting.

And that's why we have shoulder harnesses! Cheaper than a new set of bins.

Hopefully you find the owner.

Good on you for trying to find the owner !!

Do they make little stick on GPS tracking chips that one could place on items ?

My hunting partner stopped for a number 2 and left his binoculars hanging on a tree branch. Couldn't find them so he went home without them. He came back the following year and retrieved them:razz:

Found a pair of Bushnell binos on a FSR down in the flathead in 1977. No internet then, no way to find owner then. Put on a new strap and used them up until 2015. 12 year old grandson uses them now. Still work 100%.

[Deer_Slayer]

Awesome of you to do this. I lost a pair 2 years ago but it was near Oliver :( just bought em too.

Lost a pair at the Gold River marina back when Luna the orca was hanging around there.

In 8-12? My buddy lost my loaner set there a few years ago... luckily they were cheap Bushnells, so we remain friends to this day;)
