Losing things.

I got into the habit of hanging a Buck sheath knife on fences by its gut hook while paunching rabbits, and lost count of the number of times I had to go back for it.

Eventually lost it for good one night when it slipped from a pocket while lamping....should have had it in my belt where it belonged.

I now have a nice little folder which hangs around my neck.

I knew a chap once who, at great expense, got a rather nice shotgun realtree hydrodipped. The gunsmith almost refused, but such was this chap's insistence that he agreed reluctantly. First driven grouse session, on the Glorious Twelfth, our hero put his gun down in the heather to walk away and answer his phone. He came back and...never found the gun. So many lessons in that story.

Get some of the reflective tape then go looking in the dark with a torch.

Someone on the Agf has an Ed gun that is all camouflaged,  it's an accident waiting to happen,  I can see the post now, has anyone got a metal detector??

I knew someone who put his gun down on a walked up day on a grouse moor - and although it was found - it took all of us looking some time  .......... and he wasn't popular - especially when it turned up a good distance from where 'he thought he'd left it'.  My host that day always carried a red handkerchief which he wrapped around a tall bit of heather if he ever put anything down on the moor ........ years of experience.

My Mrs was given a nice stick i bought from PW, was picking up last year and she left it in a field of Beet, not having the sense to stick it in the ground so it would be easily seen she lay it down on the ground. We found it eventually after flattening about 1/2 a football field.
