I got a problem with the weasels in permanent stands. They make it their home throughout the year and then when I go out there they don't wanna leave. Those things are ferocious too. I'm just glad that I always dress in big clothes because I would think that their bites would hurt.

two or threeyears ago, while turkey hunting, i was sitting at the base of this tree waiting for daybreak. i was in that dozing off stage as i felt something on muy shirt sleeve. didnt think anything of it until i felt it again so i opened my eyes to see a possum climbing onto my lap. i dont remember if i screamed or not, but i stood up and ran away. it was disgusting lookin.
squirrel ON my leg while turkey hunting. countless within 3 feet.
ive gotten within 2-3 yards of a turkey.
fox within 10 yards first year hunting.
last year a coyote was hot on the heels of a doe and chased her right under my stand. they got to the creek bank, she dove in head first, and he stopped there. once to the other side, she shook off and took off up the hill. he stood there with the funniest look on his face ever like DAMN, i almost had er. i then proceeded to miss a chip shot on him at 30 yards as he was leavin.[:@]
other than that, just my uncles cows sniffin me as i froze there scared to death.

I've had a few small birds land on my shoulder, and more on my bow, arrow, and stand. I've had many squirrels walk up really close to me, but I always move a little to get a better look. I got pretty close to deer while turkey hunting, and a turkey deer hunting

Back when I was a Kid we would catch Squirrels and Rabbits.Like my Sister said I was really good at it.We would also catch Coons,Possums and Skunks.
One time I was setting in the woods,had a bunch of Tom Turkeys around me.One of them came by me and laid down,I eased my hand over laid it on his Back,everything was cool for a little bit,until he realized it just didn't feel right.
