RE: Crazy things you have seen while hunting
Man in over 40 years there are just too many to tell. Some funny ones though: During archery season several years ago, a spike buck came within about 15 feet of me, I didn't want to shoot it and as it stood there trying to make me out, I waved my hand at him and told him to beat it. He spun anround so fast and ran smack into a tree and knocked himself flat on the ground scrambling to get back up.
This year, spring gobbler season in the middle of the woods, my friend and I watched a canada goose and gander walking through with the goslings in between them. The nearest pond was at least a mile away, up over the mountain.
Two heart stoppers: walking into my stand one morning at predawn down an old logging road I stepped over a grouse and had it flush between my legs. Another, while archery hunting on the ground with my back against a large oak, I could hear something moving but couldn't detect where the sound was coming from.
Standing motionless and trying to hear focusing all my attention on where the sound was coming from, had a grey squirrel run down the tree, over my left shoulder and across my chest. I think if either of these happened today I'd probably have a heart attack.
Cute thing, sitting on the ground I had a chipmunk moving around me for a long time. At one point he hopped up on the toe of my boot and started eating an acorn.
There's more but some other time.
