[QUOTE=double gun;3506687]If I was guessing, it was open and across his back. Something (coat/pack/brush) actuated the bolt release and the bolt was gone. Why it was open - I can't say.
Bin there done that. We used to hunt with our bolts open so anyone we were hunting with, could see at a glance our gun was safe. Riding on a quad it disappeared. We took the same trail back and luckily my son spotted the knob of the bolt sticking out of a puddle of water. I was never so happy, it was the bolt from a Sako 300 win. Never traveled with a bolt open since.
