enroute to your stand, when you hear something behindyou and scares the heck out of ya? Had that happen this morning.
I was walking down my normal trail with my mind off in La La land, thinking to myself what a nice morning it is. Closely resembles the cold winter morning you see in the scenes of "Christmas Story". The fresh snow was crunching under my goliath boots when I heard "another" heavier crunch behind me. I wheeled around on my heel at the same time yelling WTF, slipping and falling on my arse in the snow. My heart was thumping with adrenaline and fear. Quickly scrambiling to my feet and ready to shoot whatever it was, I had seen nothing.
Anyone else ever have the something like that happen?
Sounds like something under the snow, that you stepped on, popped back up.
Really it was Big Foot following you.
When I was 23 I was squirrel hunting.
I was walking on a old logging road.
I came to a cyrcle about 20 yards around.
A big oak tree in the middle.
A squirrel was in it.
It kept running to the other side.
I walked around 3 times.
The last time I came back around, A Giant Doe, and 2 other does jumped up at my feet and ran.
I scared the you know out of me.
I walked right up to them at least 5 or 6 times.
I was looking up, and didn't see them laying there.
After I got over that, I went back with my bow.
