Had a button buck lick my screw in tree steps while I hung in my treesaddle just 12 feet above his head.
Watchedthree 6 x 6 Michigan free ranging bull elk from 15 yards while sitting on the ground against a tree during rifle season.
Heard countless free ranging elk bugle in Michigan (what a treat! sends chills down your spine!) [:-]
Had a doe and two fawns lick the windows of our cabin this year - while my3 year old daughter stood at the window staring at them- AND got it on camera!
Saw six other hunters in 2 hours on the 80 acres I hunt! [:@]
Had a carbon arrow blow up on me. [:-]
Watched my dad accidently fire an arrow through the bedroom wall and into the back yard - and then move the bedroom furniture to cover up the hole!

Ask and you shall receive! This is what Iposted on another thread a while back.....
ORIGINAL: bigjim12
Can we hear that one. Sounds like it might be good.......
Can we hear that one. Sounds like it might be good.......
Looking back on this, it's kinda funny, but at the time it was a "Twilight Zone" episode.
I met a girl I college one day while studying, she says she knows me from football and we struck up a conversation, eventually talking about hunting. She tells me she is "Part Black Foot Indian, and hunts all the time." and that she wanted to go hunting with me sometime.
Ok, I'm thinking it's a kinda strange first date but she's pretty good looking and it's the off season so I'll take her Rabbit hunting in the foot hills.....who knows what might happen.
Well the day arrives and she meets me at one of the many dirt roads off of the canyon road (Utah) that lead into the foot hills.
I notice that she has a small part of her hair (next to her ear)braided and a feather hanging from it.
AND....you guessed it...HER FACE PAINTED!!!
Now I'm thinking "this broad is nuts" but I give her the benefit of the doubt, perhaps she is just proud of her heritage, plus...she IS good looking. So we grab our rifles (.22's) and head out.We had been walking for some time talking about school, football and such when all of a sudden she spots some tracks (Coyote) and drops to the ground...procedes to put her ear to the ground......looks up at me and says......."Big female Cougar...about a half mile ahead heading south, if we hurry we can catch it."
I'm just standing there like
and I say..."First, that's a Coyote track....Second, even if it were a Cougar track, which it's not! we don't have a tag for it, nor a gun to kill it with, and third your frickin nuts!!!"
Well she stands up and says "Hey, I don't need a tag I'm an American Indian."At this point I'm thinking this crazy broad is gonna shoot me or something so I say to her, "Good luck with the Cougar, I'm heading back to my car." and turn and walk away.
I seen her a couple more times on campus but she acted like she didn't know me......thank God!!

It took a turn for the "surreal" when she flopped down on the ground! I'm just standing there thinking to myself "Why do you always pick the crazy ones John?"
I couldn't get out of there fast enough...the whole time down back to my car I kept looking over my shoulder hoping she wasn't there pointing her gun at me!

I know....but this chick was certifiable! I mean, she's on the ground playing "Tonto" and I'm standing there like "you gotta be freakin kidding me!"When something like that happens to a person, it takes a couple seconds for what you're seeing to compute. After I processed what just went down, I said what I said and got the hell out of there!
I could tell she was not happy with me and I wanted to keep my hair!

Had a huge owl land on the branch I was standing on, less than 5 feet.
Had a mature bobcat walk on the log I was sitting on (ground), got within 5 feet, then backed up!
Had hawks make pass at my head a few times.
Had raccoon incidents much like others have described.
Have taken 6 deer with bow from ground.
2 of those were still hunting on public land. One was a mature doe I called in with a tending sequence on 10/9. Go figure.
Missed a possible P & Y twice while still hunting on public land. 9:00 am on a weekend, heavily hunted area. Go figure.
With daughter, watched a hawk miss a red squirrel twice, 10 feet from us.
Seen squirrels fall out of trees (they bounce).
Got threatened and run off by scary individual with gun, on land I had permission to be hunting.
Saw B & C class buck in bow range.
Missed a slam dunk P & Y 4 times while road hunting! (long, long ago lol)
