Default RE: Anyone ever get SCARED walking into woods?

I just always seem to have problems with Cattle on my way in to my stand. Last season the farmers had a herd of cattle out there, and one would always follow me into my stand. One day I was walking in, and cut through a little gully. I didnt realize it, but I had inadvertantly cut between a calf and her mother, needless to say I got my but chased for a while. We didnt think we would have problems this year since The landowner got rid of the cattle for us. Well we were wrong. A neighboring farmer let two cows get loose, on of em is a real mean tempered bull. Wehn I was walking in the dark last time I thought I hear rumbling, sure enough its the bull charging across the field at me. I have never ran soo fast in my life, I was almost to the gate, and noticed it was wired shut, so I just decided I would rather take my chances with the barbed wire fence then the bull. I have no idea how I did it, but I managed to clear a barbed wire fence that was even with my navel, mind oyu I was carrying my Bow, and wearing heavy clothing. I hit the ground and laid there for about an hour before I got the nerve to hunt. When we told the farmer about it he just said that he was going to go shoot them, but the meat locker was full because of deer season, so we had to wait. He did give us permission to blast em if they come after us again though, so who knows, I might be taking a bull with my Bow.
