RE: Anyone ever get SCARED walking into woods?
this reminds me of a funny story that happened to one of my hunting buddies. one evening my buddy was walking out of the woods after an evening hunt. he had his treestand hanging on his shoulders w/backpack straps. he had quite a long way back to the truck and it was pretty dark. he said all of a sudden he heard something behind him. every time he would take a step whatever was behind him would take a step because he could hear the leave rustling. well he was getting kinda nervous because the faster he walked the louder it got and he just couldn't seem to get away from it. every time he stopped it stopped. he started yelling "get out of here", "i have a gun and im not affraid to use it", nothing would make whatever was following him go away. finally he couldn't take it anymore and started running full steam. he no more than got a couple of steps when he was yanked to a stop and his feet flew straight up in the air and he landed flat on his back....he said he just knew he was toast and bigfoot or whatever was following him was surely gonna tear him to peices. he lay there waiting for the end to come, but nothing. he tried to get up and couldn't move. wondering what the heck was going on and why whatever just slammed him to the ground wasn't finishing him off...still flat on his back, he pulled his flashlight out of its holster on his fanny pack and shinned it behind him. there he saw his bow pull-up rope w/a dog clip on the end of it hung up in an old dead fall and was stretched out so tight that he couldn't get up. evidently his bow rope had unwound from around his treestand while he was walking back to the truck and the dog clip on the end of it was draggin in the leaves some 20 ft behind him.....LMAO. i get a kick out of that story everytime i think about it. and everyone in deer camp had tears in there eyes the first time it was told there. <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
