Dude, where's my gun?

[Ape88]

I'm banking on the idea that I must have done something stupid, like dropped my loaded gun somewhere, because upon loading and going outside to hunt a stag, I realized that I don't have my gun or any bullets. So now I am challenged by increasingly horrid weather and temperature on Voyager (Or so it seems to me) but the fact that the only thing I can get for meat right now are rabbits and fish, and I'm trying to avoid losing my deer hide boots that are at 3% right now. Guess it's time to track down a maple sapling and some arrowheads so that I can actually make a bow and arrows.

Has anyone else wound up in similar situations?

If you are holding a weapon when you are attacked, you tend to drop it in the snow along with some other random items from inventory.  Check the last place you got mauled.

I've learned to look around myself after I get attacked. I'm fairly sure I looked around me immediately after.
