A Muzzle Loader Found at the Savage River Range 10/09/16

j8064 · Oct 9, 2016

As the Hooligans were leaving the range this morning we found a nice muzzle loader that another group of shooters evidently missed when they packed their gear and left.

We posted a sign with phone numbers at the range and the rifle was taken to the MSP barrack in McHenry. MSP contacted DNR who may pick up the rifle and store it in their lost and found.

If anyone who sees this may know the owner, please have them contact MSP to identify and claim. We hope you get your rifle back!

OMG! Brown was right. An assault weapon IS behind every tree because Hogan got elected!

(Just 250 years too late for ol' Anthony)

Thus proving a broken clock is still more right than Brown.

The gun has been transferred to the DNR Headquarters building next to the Ranger Station up the road from the range. I have the contact info if needed

Enough IS enough!

Having hopefully been a positive contributor to this forum for over eight years I recently stayed off the forum for many weeks. There are reasons for that. Like deja vu the posts on this thread are among them.

Last week I re-engaged with the MDS group. I began posting Hooligan info and responding to other threads. But it's like I came back to the same bull sh!t I was better off not thinking about for the past six weeks.

Today, we found a rifle a guy mistakenly left behind at the range. He effed up. Personally I will be proud to make sure he gets it back. That's the reason I started this thread. Have you ever made a mistake? Would you like assistance from someone you don't know to help you?

Your replies here and on today's Hooligan thread about this guy's mistake are a sad testimony about the honor of some MDS members. You may think your remarks are comedy. Others do not.

We will try every way we can to see the rifle we found today is returned to its owner. THAT is the RIGHT THING TO DO!

There was a time when the MDS membership was a caring and helpful group. That seems to no longer be the case.

WTHeck?

Huh wonder what happened?

BTW good on ya OP hopefully the guy gets his stuff back!

The only time a similar thing happened to me unfolded like this: I found a S&W M39 9mm left behind at the range by a shooter who I had briefly said hi to earlier- no idea as to his identity. I took the pistol home, cleaned it, and then went around to all the gun shops and sporting goods stores in the area (York,PA) describing the gun and its owner as best I could. To make a long story short, it paid off and I was able to get the gun back into the forgetful owner's hands. Three months later was an item in the local news where a woman shot her husband with his 9mm and finished him off by bludgeoning him with a champagne bottle. You guessed it- it was my guy and the same M39 I returned to his possession.

Unintended consequences...

You have a link to that story? What was the outcome?

You guys are stand up guys and you did the right thing trying to return the muzzle loader to it's rightful owner. I hope the owner gets it back and his faith in humanity is restored.

Good job trying to get the gun back to its owner. Seems I recall another thread earlier this year about a left behind long gun at that same range or maybe Green Ridge.

Holy goat farts that's CRAZY. That's a good bar story right there!

It happened in York, PA, in the mid-80's. I can't for the life of me remember his name. I do remember that the wife was found guilty and sentenced to prison.

You hadn't noticed that the entire forum has become the Water Cooler?

Don't feel bad. It's got nothing to do with you. That woman did what she did on her own.

If the 9mm didn't make it back, she'd used his .45 and finished him off with a steak knife.

I recall hearing about someone leaving a rifle behind at Elk Neck a while back. I don't remember if I ever heard the outcome of that one.

I hope that if I ever make a mistake like that, someone with integrity (like J8064) finds it and tries to get it back to me.
