One time I was pre-season deer scouting with my grandfather when suddenly he stopped and had a really scared looking face so I stopped and just said what? He goes 'there's a grizzly about 15 feet behind you." My heart friggin dropped, turns out he was joking and he laughed his ass off the rest of the day.

I thought that might be happening to me and my hunting partner one day. The smell of death was overcoming as we walked through some tall grass along a pine grove. We found a small 4 pointer with a arrow stuck in it's front shoulder. It didn't make the jump over a barbed wire fence, got caught up and died. I backed off while my buddy was gaging and puking cutting that small rack off. It was pretty nasty.

Hi guys. This is my first post; this seems like a reallygreat site. I think my scariest moment in the woodscame about5 months ago (give or take) on a hog hunt. I was running through some thickets after the dogs when I noticed I had a bunch of flies (or so I thought) buzzing around me. Then I started getting stung. Yep, those "flies" were hornets. All I could do was run straight through the briers and thickets screaming and flayaling my arms. They got me over 20 times in various parts of my body, some more "sensitive than others" if you know what I mean. Not to mention I was torn up from the briers and devils thorns. I've been stung by wasps, bumble bee's and pretty much anything else, but that wasmy first time being attacked by hornets. Man do those little sun-of-a-guns pack a mean punch.

a couple years ago, first time ever hunting by myself, i was walkin to where i was gonna sit. i was about 25 yards from my sit and all the sudden a pheasant goes flyin out of a tree right above me and scared the sh*t out of me. then not 30 seconds later i start hearing crashing through the woods. im think oh f*** a bear, and its coming right towards me!! but it turned out to be a really big doe and i shot her from about 10 yards away and we had a nice full freezer!

In the early 90's I was bow hunting in farm country, my first year on this farm. It was an evening hunt, after work, and I was standing on a huge limb of a huge burr oak. One of the neigborhood residents came tromping through the woodlot with a large revolver in a shoulder holster. I knew who he was, and I knew he was looking for me, but I also knew that I was solid in my permission to be where I was. He passed by without seeing me, but then made a big circle and came back through and saw me. He never drew on me, but he did grab the butt of his gun once. He threatened me very specifically and very aggressively, and forced me to leave. I was crapping my pants. This guy was nuts. It wasn't his land, and he didn't have a leg to stand on, but that didn't matter. I made a phone call later, and got everything straigtened out, and could still hunt there. I reported the incident to the sheriff, but didn't file a complaint.

LOL good story

my advise..get a tree stand

My scariest was some 7 seven years back. I huntiong in NE WI with bow in hand. I had shot a nice seven pt. out of a pit my unclr dug. I know it sounds weird but it worked. I feild dressed him and took him out of the woods. I was only gone from the woods 25 mins. My father and I went back to find my arrow. When we got there we found the arrow. I showed my dad the pit. When we got there a 500lb plus black bear had come in and caved in the pit blind. If I hadn't shot my deer when I did. I could have been face to face and probaly deadby a bear. This same bear was seen down the road carrying dead deer off the side of the hwy.

You win.
