The Leupold Found in the Beaver Dam

[Tucker301]

From Social Media...

A 3.5-Year Endurance Test in Alaska: A moose hunter lost this rifle after falling into a stream in Alaska’s Copper River Delta. The rifle was found in a beaver dam 3.5 years later by a friend hunting the same unit. The Gold Ring scope performs as good as the day it was made.

I'd say that Larry was at it again, but that rifle is in too nice of shape to be one of his. Now If there were traces of pink rattle can on it....

Tuckers headline read " Leopold found in beaver". My thoughts went to.... must be near DC.,and then, I wonder who found it? and then wonder what they were looking for. Then I clicked on it and read the rest of the story.

I'm not surprised by the Leupold. Despite their being not-so-well thought-of around here a lot, they're incredibly tough and reliable. But the part I focused in on was how it ended up in a beaver dam. Holy crap, do I hate those little bastards! I've had a running battle with them on my property for nearly 5 years now, after they destroyed 30 acres of hayfield. I am still trying to rehabilitate that land, and have to keep a constant vigil with backhoe at the ready to keep them from getting it back. So, when I read they took the rifle and incorporated it into the dam, it just sounds so typical. Opportunistic little bastards. I guess it worked out for the scope's owner though (and Leupold as well).

Hell, if you help me find my keys, we'll drive out of here. (old joke, just a new audience)

It is amazing that they were able to shoot that rifle in order to determin how well the Scope preformed. I assume that is what they must have done as there are no pictures of the scope on a different rifle.

a lady around here was complaining to the sewage treatment facility that they were dumping water in a marsh area behind her house again...bad flooding that would not go away and the rainy season was coming
they swore no, she swore and swore yes...
she called us to get a dead animal out of her back yard, it was a beaver...
i dont know how the son of a bitch died, but he sure caused a bunch of head aches...
oh i,m telling you, people were pissed, the damn county this, the damn county that...the guy in charge had to been having a fit...
