Never actually got attacked but was if fear for my life twice.
1. First when hunting on a WMA one morning in dark walking in to new spot. Felt kind of weird, like I was being watched. Found an opening and set up climber on tree on edge of clearing. Got up in position. As the dawn was breaking and I could begin to see, I saw a nice size doe approaching from the left. She crossed behind a set of bushes about twenty five yards away. So I hurried up and drew ready to release when she reappeared on the other side. As she stepped out , I about crapped in my pants. It was actually about a 120# cougar. She or he was just walking real slow looking around at the trees in my direction but didn't see me. It finally laid down at about thirty yards and watched the sun rise. For the next hour I had a wild cougar laying on the ground thirty yards from me lickingit's paws.Finally, I decided I had to push this animal on so I pull out my fawn bleat. What a mistake! When I blew on the thing the animal jumped to attention and didn't so much as move a muscle for the next twenty minutes. I watched it's eyes just pan back and forth looking for its next meal. It finally put its head down and walked off into the woods. Only after a few hours did I climb down and move on to another area. Spooky!!!!

Forget the second story....I will tell it some other time.
