I'll start with a few humorous things that happened to me while on stand.

1) Last weekend I was bowhunting in the UP of Michigan. The area I'm hunting is on the back side of a hill that has a few houses on top of the hill. Right around primtime, I see a kid walk out on the back deck with a tuba and proceeded to play over and over and over the worst version of "Smoke on the water" that I ever heard. No I didn't see any deer.

2) Last December I was bowhunting in a woodlot in Minnesota. The woodlot is 40 acres of mostly oak trees. Things were starting to heat up for me as I watched a doe and a fawn walk past me to go out to feed a full hour before sunset. Good things were about to happen. So I thought.

About a half hour later, I hear a branch snap from the same direction the doe and fawn came from, when I spot about an eight year old boy with tennis shoes walk within 30 yards of me, drop his drawers and proceed to projectile S#$@# complete with sound. After a little snow clean up he was good to go.

3) About ten years ago I had a nice buck walk straight at me down one of my shooting lanes. He walked to the base of my tree and then started walking directly away from me down another shooting lane. I just wanted him to turn slight one way or the other so I started making a sqeaking noise on the back of my hand. As I'm making the sqeaking noise I catch a movement out of the corner of my eye just in time to see a Great Horned owl with talons out stretched ready to clamp down on my camo face. In a quick defensive move, I start jabbing at the owl with my arrow that was nocked on my bow. The owl just didn't get it and he came at me again. As I'm jabbing wildly at it, the owl decides to sit down on the same branch that I was sitting on.

I look down at the buck and he is standing about 15 yards away looking at me, he snorts and takes off running. The owl now decides it wants a closer look at the camo man and flys to a branch near my right shoulder and sits looking at me.

The owl did fly away when I turned my head, looked him in the eyes and whispered "Axehole".

I know I'm not the only one that is having these types of on stand experiences let's hear some.
