RE: Scariest moment in the woods?
For those who haven't heard myDou Dead Men Story.
I have actually found to dead people; one while hunting, the other fishing.
While fishing one evening, I found a boat overturned on the small private lake I live on. There are 4 other houses on the lake, and the kids across the lake were having a huge party/bon fire. I figured some drunk kids came out swimming, tipped the boat and left it there. The next morning, about 6 a.m., I got up to do some pike fishing. Heading to my honey hole, I noticed something scrap along side the boat. I look behind the boat into the fog and see the elbow of a person. This was by far, the scarriest thing of my life. Afterwards, I called the police and all. They went looking for it with divers and things, and persisted that there was no dead person, just 2 swans. They asked me, ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T a swan. Thinking I don't know the difference, gosh.
For the Hunting bit:
Last spring I was up in Northern Michigan and was hunting some state lanf for Spring Turkey. Figures We were having no luck. We were just camping in a tent. The day before, we had heard of a man "getting lost" in the state land around there. They hadn't located his car or anything though. My dad and I split up for the noon-time hunting and stalking. Shortly I had walked across a small pine plantation and thought I saw a person laying down. I circled around them and hollered once so they didn't shoot me or get scared. Needless to say, I had to take the police out there and he wasn't lost. It was a suicide.
