Well Sunday me and my older brother were sighting in our bows a little early for deer season to get used to the motions and we had them ready in little to no time, and had a little extra time for some shooting games. Needless to say after 1 1/2 hours of that we were bored and tired, but i suggested we go pick up some broadheads to go hog hunting the next morning with our bows so we did that.

Well we hunted and shot 2 hogs early that morning but no way we could get a blood trail so we decided to put our trail cameras up along with some corn. We had 3 cameras and found 2 spots and we were hunting another spot. I remembered a decent spot we saw deer last year so i suggested we go there and we pulled up to the well pad to park and ...

THERE IS A HUGE SKI BOAT PARKED ON IT!

noone around, no tracks, my hunting club... hmmm? we got the model and tag numbers and called it in to the sheriffs office, they came out and we showed it to them, ended up being reported stolen since may 30 of this year... wow... sheriff said it was about a 65,000 dollar boat.

they got our info and me and my bro are hoping for a reward for finding these peoples boat BUT, we think it also couldve been an insurance collection so we may get nothing...

thought it was a pretty interesting day just thought id share...

I'd say interesting. There have been a few articles about people abandoning boats in record numbers with this economy.

A lot of people do that with their cars around here. They also set them on fire.
