Sadly the earthquake we had last year got mine.
What is the theory behind the "boating accident"?

I keep having flashbacks of that M1 disappearing under the dark, dangerous waters of Lake Lanier. The waves must have been 6 feet that day. Surfers were coming in from California!

Mine was a macramé accident. Long story.

I would be happy to explain it to you, but tragically, I was lost along with all of my guns in a tragic boating accident.

When the Feds come to my door to take my guns, I will sadly inform them that all my guns were lost when my canoe tipped over crossing Lake Tahoe. Don't believe me? Dive down and take a look.

It was horrible.
It had been a beautiful day on that deep mountain lake till that rogue wave suddenly flipped the bass boat.
I was dazed and disoriented, but fought my way to the surface. All I could see was my wife fighting to stay afloat. She was wearing two 3-1/2 Reg Mags in a buscadero rig and they were pulling her under.
I HAD to save those magnums......er...... I mean her, so I grabbed her and paddled feverishly for shore.
Unfortunately, the belt broke before we reached shore and I lost the Mags.

My firearms were proudly displayed in the Fizzies Factory Foyer until that infamous flash flood.
Oh, it's no story, my friend! Many of us had trusted a fellow form member to transport our guns across a local bayou, and his boat must have overturned! Neither he nor our beloved firearms have been heard of since November 9th! Oh, the humanity!

I sold all mine just as quickly as I acquired them, Flip this Gun so to speak. In Texas the private sale of guns is not regulated by the state, there is no requirement to execute a bill of sale or transfer ownership through an FFl. And since I kept no records of the sale and only verbally verified that the buyer was of legal age and affirmed to me they were eligible to own a gun, I sold it to them.

Well we did! However it was at the request of the boat owner, turned out three intrepid deer hunters for whatever reason were crossing the Juniata river and upset their little flat bottom jitney and all three rifles were lost. He knew of my buddy who is a diver and contacted him and he and I were retained to retrieve the rifles. Two of them were an easy find but one eluded us for quite awhile, just before giving up I saw a bit of something flat protruding just above the silt, grabbed it and there was a Savage 99 attached to what was the sling. We were fronted $150.00 for our trouble. So if you are going to have a "boating accident" make sure its way deep, say 140 feet plus with a thick silt bottom!

OP, the best way I can describe this concept to you:
Take this bag and your flashlight, and walk into these woods for about 100 yards. Hold the bag open at ground level, and commence calling "Snipe, snipe, snipe" and shining your flashlight around. They will be attracted to the light and run into the bag, and you'll catch them that way.
Meanwhile, the rest of us will stay over here until you've had a chance to get deep in the woods, and when we hear you calling out, we'll start driving the snipe your way. Trust us on this.
