I've shot three while hunting. They are bad here in S. GA. And, yes, they are scary as heck! I wait a long time before I approach them once down.
Carrying one out of the field is tough on the nerves. I always think he's going to wake up and go wildcat on me. Paws and claws are huge.
Hopefully I'll see none this year.
Arghh... got a whole month before rifle season down here
