Last year my husband had a red fox go crazy for some Trails End #307 he put out on a q-tip. He caught the whole thing on video. For about 10 minutes the fox rolled around on his back 25 feet in front of his stand. Acting silly in general until he finally ate the q-tip and left.

Come on Ricoace, you have to give us something more than that... <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

All I can imagine is some kook dressed up in all black stalking from tree to tree with the over emphasized motions that you see in all of the karate flicks, trying not to be seen by the deer. Arms and legs spread wide with his butt lowered way down pivoting his head from side to side like Bruce Lee, all the while with his bow and sword strapped to his back.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The other day I had a bobcat come running by my stand and jump on a squirrel. He tore that squirrel up!

Ive seen some wild things in the woods. but the best has to be the shooting star or comet I seen while bowhunting one morning. awesome ill never forget it. and next to that has to be about a couple of years ago. this squirrell came up the tree next to me one afternoon and just gave me a cussing, he was just out of range and wouldnt go away for nothing. and also the time I watched a buck make a scrape.

Wednesday evening it had just started raining and I was trying to decide whether to stay in my tree or leave when a big coyote came sneaking down the trail,by the time I got my bow picked up he was a little to far to shoot.I'd loved to got him.

Big owl landed in the tree next to me....They really can turn their heads around backwards...pretty neat to see it...

Last year while bow hunting I had four squirels running around my stand making all kinds of racket chasing each other and ruining any chance I had of hearing a deer and while I watching them a owl or a big hawk (it happened so fast I couldn't tell) swooped down from a tree nearby and took one of the squirels with it. Needless to say I didn't hear another one the rest of the morning!
