RE: One time I was walking to my stand and....
 

Walking to my stand through a pasture, my dad and I were just taking our time when something knocked my dad flat on his face. It was pitch black w/no moon and we were scared sh*t. All of a sudden, I feel pressure on my hip and I grab a set of horns while my dad throws the light on me. It was a billy goat that the guy had bought the previous weekend! This guy was pretty small but he was full of energy. Still a good laugh when I bring it up to my dad.

RE: One time I was walking to my stand and....
 

I went out to the woods last month bowhunting and found one of my trees that I always go up in. I undid my climber and hooked it to the tree only to here the most blood curdling scream I have ever heard I shined my light up in the tree and didn't see or hear nothing else. So I continued to get on my climber and started up the tree another scream was let out, I shined my light up the tree and it was a bobcat. I flew down out of tree(that might have been the fastest I have ever moved) and left that patch of woods in a hurry. That was the first time I have ever heard one scream like that and I just about sh&t my drawers. Bobcats don't get as big as mountain lions or anything but it would surely tear the hell out of ya! (that is when I started carrying a gun with me bowhunting).

I once was sitting in a blind when I heard some rustling noises to my left.

I s-l-o-w-l-y, carefully opened the blind, hoping to see the buck I had been waiting for.

To my dismay, instead, my 10x25s revealed a lady hiker doing what bears proverbially do in the woods. I hid back in my blind, praying that she would not realize I was there, no more than 20 yards away.

Upon my return home, my wife asked me if I had seen any whitetail.

I could only blush and chuckle.

The last buck that I have shot is when I was sitting in my ol' man ladder stand and a squirrel was climbing up my metal ladder stand barking at me. He got about 3' from my feet and I was about to hit him with my gun when the buck walked across. I shot the buck and the squirrel still came further up my stand until I swatted him away with my gun.
I had another incident when I was rabbit hunting. I was tracking a running rabbit with my shotgun and just about to take the shot when a bobcat ran across and took the rabbit down before I could shoot. I figured if he out hunt me he deserves the rabbit more than me.

This one time, at band camp, I went bow hunting, and when I was walking to my stand, a looked behind me, and the biggest leopard in the world was chasing me, and I ran for 15 miles, and when I got to my stand, there was a huge dragons sitting in the branch above me, and I jumped into the lake I was sitting next to, and I was swimming, and the loc ness monster bit my foot, and I swam away to shore, and I felt something reach down and grab me, and it was bigfoot, and he was gonna eat me, and I kicked him in the knee, and I ran to my truck, and drove 900 miles an hour to my house, and I drove for 2 years, and when I got to my house, I WOKE UP. :). Just kidding, good stories guys. I really hope nobody believe me. :^)
