Haha, man some of you have had some crazy stuff happen while you have been hunting.

I have a story that wasnt when i was hunting, but it involves deer.

I was jogging after dark one night in this new, undeveloped neighborhood back behind my parents house. There are always a lot of deer in in the area and i see them all the time. I had my headphones on and turned up loud so i really couldnt hear anything. When i first got in the neighborborhood i spotted a few does up on the hill to my left. They were almost always there. So i keep running and all of a sudden out of my perifrial vision i see this blob come flying by. Scared the crap out of me! A doe basically came charging me and if i wouldnt have stopped running i think it would have hit me!

I think they are trying to get back at me [8D]
haha, that kinda reminds me of one time when I was younger and my dad took me out scouting with him.

We were in this HUGE bottom, finding deer sign all over the place. I was like 9 or 10 so I wasn't real used to being outdoors a whole lot yet. It was late spring so I wasn't too thrilled with walking through all the brush and getting all the spiders/ticks hanging on me to begin with.

But we're in this bottom, and Im pickin spider webs off my face and fighting briars, havin a heck of time, well all of a sudden we hear a bunch of crashing up on top of the ridge and we look and here come 6 deer running straight at us at full speed- they had no clue we were there. So what do I do? I start to turn and tried to bolt the other way to run away from them, lol. Dad grabbed me by the hood and held me back,5 of them ran less than 5 feet from us except for one that was slower, she saw me and flipped out and took off back up the hill.

I thought dad was gonna pee his pants he was laughing at me so hard. Said the look on my face and my eyes was priceless when saw those deer running at me, and he said the way I tried to take off running away from them just topped it off. I thought I was done for, lol
