Howdy gentlemen.

Unlikely to result in a positive outcome, but worth a shot.

My hunting buddy lost his rifle by the side of the road in Tuskegee National Forest. If anyone by chance came across a rifle out there recently please let me know, I’ll provide a detailed description.


Thank you!

Hate to hear that but good luck on the recovery.

Call the USFS office in Montgomery and see if any of the rangers picked it up.

I hate that for your friend. Chances are not good he will ever see it again.

Probably so - but if a good hearted person sees this maybe it can happen.

Thanks for reading!

Good luck to him. I hope he gets it back. I actually drove home last night from my chambers County lease and went to get my rifle out of the back seat and it wasn't there. Scared me. Found it on the seat of the clown car. Can't believe it made all the way. Lesson learned.

Thank you for that info Stacey!

I’ll start tracking that down. Appears that Facebook group is private, anyone have access and a screenshot by chance?

Well gents, thanks for the help. It turns out the rifle was found by an AU student who turned it into the forest Ranger. Amazing.

I am still trying to get into that Facebook group, I would like to be able to thank the person who turned it in. If anyone can help with that I’d be appreciative.

Just call the ranger station, you may have to wait until Monday but at least you know where it is. Congrats! You got lucky.

I would track down that student myself and shake their hand and at least buy them dinner.
