I've been buzzed by owls and hawks a few times, worried that they won't realize thier mistake in time.

Mostly worried about hang on stands I've left up for awhile and not been to visit and bees building a nest in it

I changed my mind. Being struck by lightining pales in comparrison to this senario![:-]

Since I hunt primarily on public land, I always fear another hunter coming by me and screwing up my hunt. It hasn't happend for a while, but still think about it every time it get into my stand.

UsuallyI fear being shot by someone else on my way to my stand(I hunt public land). Once I'm in my stand, anything in the tree with me. Once, I climbed into my stand well before daybreak. When the sun came up I found myself in the middle of a turkey roost! Having 3 birds vacate the tree within feet of me was almost too much. On the upside, if I ever get drawn to turkey hunt the property, I'll know where to start scouting.;)

I fell asleep a couple times this year and that was spookie,Sometimes i worry about my boat flipping on the way out.Then while im hunting i hear other boats slowing down,and start worrying about thieves.

I've dropped my bow out of a tree twice. Two days in a row. That's what I get for using jute twine. [:@] Didn't hurt the bow. It was my old 'anchor' bow. I think the ground was injured tho'.

This year I backed my 3/4 ton truck over my aluminum climbing stand.


I don't fear any thing really. But I do get a bit nervous around some of the people that Icross paths with out on the public land I hunt. Most everybody is cool. In fact some of them are downright fun. I've met a few creepy onestho'. Maybe they just have an unfortunate creepy look to them.Still it makes me wonder if I should be prepared to jab them in the eye socket with a muzzy tipped arrow. [:-]

Nothing... REALLY.. we prepare, check our equipment and do it. You can't sit up there and think fear. The only thing I might fear would be a mortar attack.[8D]
