haha I didn't know there were so many scaredy cats on this forum! nah just kidding, i was laughing reading this thread because i think i've had most of them happen to me at one point or another. I'm not scared of the dark but when you have a long walk through the woods at night you can't help but get a little edgy. coyotes also don't scare me but when you are walking through the woods at night and they start howling and carrying on it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand straight up. I know they are much too scared of me to do anything, but the sound of that howl triggers something in me, def has caused me to hustle out of the woods a few times. When it comes to scaring the living daylights out of me the biggest culprits are probably grouse and roosted turkeys. a grouse is a fairly small bird but when one takes off right out from under your feet they scare the living hell out of me. same thing with turkeys, so many times ive been sneaking through the woods when right over my head it sounds like an explosion and you look up just to see a turkey getting out of dodge.
