Well, here's a video describing what happened to it and where it's been.

The audio sucks in certain areas of the video. Sorry

Not that it would be possible but I always thought it would be interesting to find out the 'story' behind this rifle.
Who owned it and whatever became of them.
Why it was left there .... unloaded, etc. - etc.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

I'm sure they checked with Winchester.

I'm sure it was probably leaned against the tree while stopping for whatever reason and forgotten. I would imagine it would be near impossible to determine which tree you left it by if you went back for it.
