Do you collect other sporting items besides Parkers?

Rocks. About 25 years ago I started picking up a small rock to bring home from most hunting trips. I use them as paper weights, ball markers on the golf course and just enjoy picking one up now and then to remember. My most treasured collection is my collection of friends and I am always searching for my next one. I have found that good friends enrich my life in immeasurable ways, cost virtually nothing but are of great value.

Interesting. Elaine and I have been “gathering stones” from our hunting trips for years. We have enough now to do some kind of landscape project.

Garry, Most of mine are pretty small. I suppose if I had my Sherpa along to carry them I would have collected larger ones.

Ha! Elaine has been claiming she is treated like a Sherpa for years. Please don’t encourage her!

I used to do that on my fishing trips, then I'd take a sharpie and note the date and the place on it. But I don't travel much anymore, and where I fish now I'd just have to bring home a handful of mud .

I have done this for years, as well. I keep them in a rock garden just off the back porch
One year, I found a crystal outcropping sticking out the side of a rocky hillside, and decided it needed to come home.
This was at the end of a deer hunt in Northern Nevada.
I couldn't pry it loose, so walked off about 50-60 yards and put a 160 gr Nozler Partition in just to the side of it.
The stone came loose, and is in my "collection".
