I saw this posted on another site and thought it would be interesting to hear what my fellow TnDeer members have come across with their extensive time in the woods.
I was hunting in Va one time and come across a moonshine still. It was set up and ready to go. I didnt stay around long, not sure if anyone was close by and didnt want any trouble.
As a kid I can remember walking through the woods playing, and my friends and I ran across a few nudy mags. Boy at that time we thought it was the greatest find ever!
I have come across small camp sites near train tracks that I assume belonged to hobos.
Got a good find or story?

Meth labs abandoned and being worked, marijuana patches with and without early warning devices, moonshine stills, burnt crosses, dogs hung by the neck from trees. Found a camp that some jail escapees had just left a day or so before in the middle of the woods. Found an old Indian painting in a small cave that I didnt know was there but it had been previously documented. Just all kinds of stuff, theres reasons why I carry in the woods all the time.

Chicken wire enclosures around pot plants. Parts of vehicles with no visible way to get them where they were. Piles of nothing but glass bottles.

After the Tornadoes came through Morgan Co. several yrs back... I would find school work, shoes, shingles, and other items that were not there before the storms. Once found some birthday ballons that finally came down and was hanging in a tree a the top of the mountain...
