I was in Kansas. Day 2, walking to the same stand I had hunted the previous morning. I was walking the edge of a woodline(in the dark) and almost walked into a tree. I stopped about 2 feet in front of it and said to myself, this thing wasnt here yesturday??? All of the sudden this tree made a loud animal like noise that scared the hell out of me and I jumped away from it, It was a hoarse facing straight at me !!![rofl][rofl]
Walked out to one of my stands about a mile in the woods. Almost at the stand and I glance over into a clearcut and see something hanging from the one tree left in the mdiddle of 3 acres I grab the binoculars and look. Someone hung a bunch of tampons on the tree. didn't bother walking out but always wondered scented or unscented.

Hunting in Wharton State forest with my buddies hunting club...while doing a drive, came across some bones in the middle of the woods, and nearby was a garbage bag. The bones were big, not sure if they were human

When I was 17 It was opening day of 99 six day buck week there was a light drizzle that morning with a dence fog, I get out in the woods in the dark and head to my stand and I couldent find it. I knew I was in the general area so instead of making a bunch of noise and shining my flash light all over the place I decided to take a seat up against a big pine on the damp ground. While sitting in the dark on the ground I can hear somthing walking towards me and its getting closer, closer and closer Now at this point I dont know what the hell it is I figured if it was another hunter they would have a flash light on and I dident want to turn mine on because then I started thinking it might be a deer and I dident want to spook it out of there so I just sat tight. well now what ever was walking towards me is about 10 steps away and I am shaking like a leaf I am so nervous I kind of froze up and just clenched on to my unloaded Jc Higginns 12 gauge. this thing is slowly waking closer now and I think its about to step on me it stops and snorts so loud in my face I almost pee my pants! it was so close when the deer snorted snot hit me in the face and it wasent just one deer it sounded like atleast 3 or 4 as they ran away snorting. It took about 20 minutes for me to calm down after that one, man My adrenalin was PUMPING and about 15 more minutes before it started to get light out and as it did get light out I could see where I was about 20 yards to the right of my tree stand[wallmad] I climbed up into my stand Loade up the old Jc higgins and dident see anything the rest of the hunt.

over 10 years back while Bowhunting Elk in the Frank CHurch RIver of No Return Wilderness area in Idaho, my guide and I dropped into a deep drainage...In the bottom there was virtually no visibility at all. The smell of death hit us both at the same time.
At less than fifteen yards, We catch movement as a bear stands up from where it was feeding on a spike bull elk kill. When it stood up initially it placed it's from feet up on a boulder which caused the shoulder blades to raise up looking like a grizzlie's shoulder hump. It only took a couple seconds to realize it was only a black bear, but for that second or two we thought who is getting outta this bottom first...the guide, the hunter or the bear!

Well, I'be witnessed some pretty funny and strange things, but, nothing compares to the horror I was subjected to last fall; I may suffer forever.
It was a nice afternoon, barely a cloud in the sky, just crisp enough to warrant a sweat-shirt. My good friend requested my assistance in scouting a piece of land that he hunts. We go in together, smiling, laughing, and enjoying the great outdoors, however, neither of us knew the horror that awaited us, deeper in the woods. After about 30mins of scouting, we decide to separate in order to cover more ground; a decision that will haunt me for the remainder if my days.
I walk a swampy section of immature timber, heading towards a small saddle that overlooks a field of switch grass and some cat tails. I m crest the saddle and begin the brief descent down to the grassy field; I've seen all that I need to see, now its time to head back. I decide, taking a shorter route would be more wise, though less eventful; I couldn't have been more wrong.
Unaware of the tragedy I was about to encounter, I begin to make my way through a small thicket that will allow me to walk the edge of the cat tails back to our initial separation point. As I emerge from this small thicket, I catch.movement in my periphery, this is the moment that would alter the entire continuity of my life. I glance over and there it is, a site no man should see; a grotesque event, unfolding before my very eyes. Instantly, my stomach turned, my eyes burned, I look away and even vomittted in my mouth, a bit.
What horrendous site could render a hardened Marine virtually paralyzed ? You ask, what could be so bad ? I will tell you; a roughly 5 foot. 4 inch obese man with his hooded sweatshirt shrouding his face, his pants and underpinnings dropped to around his ankles as Mary fister and her 5 sisters went to work on his unspoken parts; apparently so overwhelmed with mother natures beauty, he felt the need to walk hundreds of yards into the woods in order to becum one with her.
As this awful event registers in my mind, I let out a loud, girlish scream that may only be heard by most in a horror movie. I beg God for forgiveness of what's I've just seen and scream for help. The man disappears into the cat tails, abandoning his plan and leaving me forever scared with this horrific image etched into my mind.

Last week we hunted a small woodlot, after setting them two up on two different oaks that were dropping, I decided to just pick a spot in hopes of one of them getting a shot. Well after some trimming I was settled and look over my left shoulder to see a pop tent. It only looked used once because of no trash , trail, etc. After sitting til dark njh member Hessian and myself decide to find this tent and it's contents ......armed with a big stick and two flashlights we went in, after locating it we stood there like two little kids saying...you open it, no you open it. started poking it with my stick to feel gushy stuff .......Tutns out it was just filled with water.

Had the same thing happen to me many years ago but with a redtail hawk. He was flying right at me and at the last minute I guess noticed that something was amiss and swooped up and over me![eek]

I had a fox walk withing 2 feet of my leg once when I was ground hunting. I finally moved because he was about to jump on my like I was a log. Scared the shit out of him. I'm lucky he ran instead of bit because he was about 3 feet from my balls! Guess I had the wind right![hihi]
Droptine, that was purely brilliant writing. Very Stephen Kingish![up]
Did he ask you for a hand??[rofl][rofl][rofl][rofl]

Box turtle bumped my leg while I fell asleep against a tree turkey hunting. Scared me awake for sure. He just kept on going
Last year following one of the snow storms, I go out and sit in my favorite spot that is right along a gorgeous stream. I get this eerie feeling of being watched. Sitting to my 4:30 on a chunk of ice in the stream is a red fox, just staring at me. We stared at each other for easily ten minutes during which he literally sat down with perfect posture and continued to stare. Eventually he trotted up to my tree, lifted his leg on it, and then went to each and every foot print I left on the walk-in and whizzed in them. On the walk out I retraced my same steps and found droplets of urine in every foot print for almost 300 yards.
