RE: What is your craziest experience while bowhunting?
when my dad was about my age he went out hunting with a friend of his. he fell asleep in the blind (he does that a lot) anyway. When he woke up there was a Doe smelling him. He just sat and watched the doe smell him and stare at him for a while because he had no Doe permit.
When I was about 10-12 years old I went out "hunting" with my dad, uncle and cousins on some state land during firearm deer season. i went mostly for learning purposes so i'd be ready when the year came that i could ACTUALLY hunt. But i carried a RedRyder bb gun anyhow. just to make myself feel more hunterish. about noon i hear some shots fired from over the hill and a doe emerges and proceeds to walk straight toward me. i figured she'd see me and turn eventually but nope. she came to about 5' when i stood up. I kinda scared her i guess but she didn't act like it. she just kinda turned and walked toward my Dad's blind. I waited but there were no shots.....what the heck? At lunch I found out that he couldn't get the safety off his shotgunbecause of his gloves hahaha
My dad, my uncle, and some of their friends were driving home from hunting and they accidentally hit a deer. they checked with the DNR to see if they could tag it and the DNR allowed it so they tagged it. they didn't have a knife to field dress it so they left my uncle to watch the corpse while they went home to grab one. they ran the truck's tire over the deer's neck just to make sure it didn't wake up. unfortunately for my uncle...it did. he tackled the thing and did his best to keep it still until the guys got back with the knife. they finally (re)killed it. but my uncle was real banged up afterward
