Great stories!

I'd like to add one if I may,

Some of my friends and I like to take backpacking trips at least once a year in the summer where everything we bring is on our backs. Water filter pump, M.R.E's to eat etc... We like to get out in areas that there are no trails. We use topo maps and a compass to navigate. Well the 3rd morning out in the middle of nowhere in Sawyer county WI. I was answering the "call of nature" I had just got done and was pulling up my pants when I hear some crashing through the trees, I look up and there is a doe running right at me! I think to my self "she has to see me right?" nope! she runs right into me knocking me back against the tree I was using as a toliet, she spins around and keeps on running like nothing happened.

By far that was the strangest thing that has ever happened to me in the woods. It was more like the deer touched me than the other way around. She hit me pretty hard and slammed me back against the tree with some force. Much more than I would ever expected to get from a deer. I'm not a little guy 6'4" 325lbs and I made a living hitting and being hit by NFL linebackers so I think I know a hard impact when I get one. Now I know what it must have felt like when I used to smack around those little d-backs
