Good story. I had a Ringneck fly up from in between my legsone time while walking back to the truck in the dark. I also had a bobcat scream, or whatever that noise is, at me from about 15 yds one time as i was walking to my spot in the dark. I'll never forget either of those experiences (edit: not near death but at the time, i thought i wasgonna geteaten by a bear)
