Default Ever been attacked by an animal?

It seems to happen at least once every year. A bird of prey sees something (probably my eyes) that he thinks is prey.

This past Tuesday evening, when Rickmur and I were hunting, a peregrine falcon flew past me at a distance of about 2 feet. It landed on a branch about 30 feet away facing me. Then he jumped off the branch and came straight for my face! It was only when I stuck out my hands to block him that he diverted his flight path and landed on another limb off to my right. He looked at me,puzzled and then took off in disgust.

I've had squirrels run over me and have had numerous encounters like the one above over the years. I guess my camo is working!

Any similar experiences?
