I have had a big hawk land right on the big cedar limb I was resting my elbow on. He and I made eye contact, I watched him for about 5 seconds then decided to wiggle the branch, he flew off.

Had a young black bear sitting in my stand one time while I approached it. That was a site. I about died laughing at him. I moved on down the ridge and hunted a different stand to say the least. I figured his mother was around somewhere...

Had a mooo-cow bed down right at the base of my tree one time. Until I hit her in the head with my knife scabert. LOL
