Somehow my tailgate opened between Flanders and Mendham. I traveled 206 then by Riamede apple farm Chester, the telephone pole farm and then into Mendham. I reported to all police depts. I backtracked within 10 mins with no sign of anything. I lost a hard case with G5 quest primal bow apex sight ripcord rest 2 dozen maxima hunter arrows, travel bow press, wasp broad heads etc. any information please pm me.
i greatly appreciate any help.

I'm sure I will get some "duh" comments so I just wanted to point out that I have a hard cover over my bed which is why I never realized my tailgate was open.

Thanks for the suggestion and comments. I will no longer put my bow in the bed. That's for sure.

Joker - remember that there is a Chester Twp. and a Borough. Just want to make sure you alert both PDs. Hope you get your gear back! I live in Flanders, but was only out briefly and didn't see anything.

Good news is I have the serial # and turned it in to the police and will do the same with the police depts? just in case anyone tries to sell a G5 primal here is the serial Q3202642.

That sure stinks. I hope that someone honest finds your stuff and turns it in and it gets returned to you.

That sucks. Wish the best of luck to you, I had it happen to me this year, an within 15 minutes of realizing it was missing I raced back to where I was hunting an my bow was gone.

Joker that sucks man. I have a Hoyt turbo hawk you can borrow if you still want to hunt the rest of the season. I hope your gear shows up but if not the offer is on the table. 65lbs 29 inch draw. That's a big loss and I hope someone gets it back to ya!

Sorry to hear. We all have those "Duh" moments tough. I left my flyfishing vest on my tailgate a few years ago, nine full fly boxes with about 300 flies in each, a Sage flyreel, and assorted indicators. shot ect. About five grand down the drain. Hope you do better than me with the return.

sorry to hear it. yea we've all done it at some point. I was just about driving age. went duck hunting for an afternoon after school. back to the truck at dark drove home and realized I didn't have all my decoys. got back to spot a couple hours later and they were gone. only good part of it was that I was huntin a small bog so I didn't use all my decoys. just about 6 or 7 of them. still pisssed off about it. lol hope you get your gear back.
