after reading pistalpetes post it has me thinking, whats your funniest, weirdest ecounter with non hunters or other people not knowing your in the woods?

mine would have to be, i was deer hunting back in october and as it started getting dark i looked up and seen 3 teens walking down a quad trail about 40 yds away, knowing they are going to ruin my hunt i pulled out my elactronic coyote call, turned the volume all the way up and hit cottontail in distress, funniest thing ive ever seen, they start walking faster and faster then i hit coyote howl, they beat feet back trhe way they came [up]

Just this year............I was doing a little in season scouting with my buddy on one of his properties.

We went 2 different directions, planning on meeting back at a set point.

I walk through some reeds, across a moderately dry swamp. I head up into a hardwood ridge and start to circle back along the reeds when I spot what no man should ever spot. What no person should ever see.

There was a short, fat guy standing just outside of the reeds; pants around his ankles, black hoodie on with the hood over his head- GOING TO TOWN !!

No bullsh*t. No exaggeration. I am forever scared by this chance encounter and have sought psychiatric assistance in my attempt to cope with this matter.

This one was real creepy. Drove past some guy in Lebanon St forest last summer sun bathing. Laying there on the side of the road butt a$$ naked to world sunglasses on talking on the phone[eek][eek][eek]. It really creeped me out[spy]. It was in July mid day and my tuck was being swarmed by pine flys as I was driving. I don't know how they weren't eating him alive.

Had the local PD come thru one time with canine in tow looking for an arsonist that started a leaf fire in October[hihi] She wanted to know if I saw anyone and how I was doing. Just great I'll be home early for dinner tonight[eyeroll]

A few years back I had 4 kids on bikes ride right under my tree. The oldest was about 10. It was a neighborhood hunt so seeing people was common. They stopped and couldnt decide which way to go. It was getting dark and they where scared they would get lsot. The oldest was giving them directions and he was cursing like a truck driver. It was pretty comical listening to his profanity. I wanted to tell them which way to go but I was afraid they would get the crap scared out of them if they saw me in the tree.

years ago had a boy scout troop decide to take a break and have lunch within 20 yards of me. was fall bow- temp in the 60's. took about 10 minutes for one of them to see me. troop master flipped. said i was a poacher. i laughed. he threatend to call the cops. told him go ahead. one of the kids had a father who hunts and the kid told him it was deer season. guy was a 1st rate moron. started rambling on about how dangerous hunters were, etc. i said to him well if "hunters" are so dangerous what kind of person are you to put all these young men in harms way.
gave him the old "are you dumb or ignorant? question/choice. told him maybe i should contact the kids parents and let them know he put all these kids in harms way being around "dangerous hunters/paochers". he about shit himself.

lookin back i feel bad for those kids b/c there isnt any chance they learned anything from that idiot.

Once me and my uncle had a group of kids come threw one on a little dirt bike driving like a maniac threw the woods othere with a paintball gun shooting trees scared every deer in the woods out I was on the ground they stopped about 30 yds from me I jumped up and yelled at em they ran away screamin guess I scared em a bit another time during shotgun me and a buddy were headin out after a morning hunt and we see 3 kids climb up an old wooden tree stand ten feet off the ground take all they're shirts off. Mind you its freezing out and light a joint so my buddy fires a round into the dirt away from them they jumped outa the tree and took off with out they're shirts haha

Fallbow, 2 teens on dirtbikes went right by me then hit the brakes and double back to the smoke stick I had in the ground. They start looking around and aren't sure what the hell this thing is. So they do the logical thing and attempt to smoke it. Lol they each hit this thing twice before they threw it down and got out of there.

Had a guy jog right under my stand. About 15 minutes later a group of deer passed and I shot one of the does. A few minutes later he returned and jogged right through my blood trail. He had no idea what just took place.
