Nocturnal ?

It was definitely a sasquatch.

I'm a lot smarter then that dude, There is no such thing as a big foot, PERIOD! It was probably animal stepping on a branch then I might have scared it away when I sneezed like I scared the deer away with the sneeze.

I once scared off a grizzly with a sneeze. But then it was a big sneeze and a small grizzly so I guess it wasn't that big of a deal.

So much truth is that. Funny how a little squirrel sounds like a big bruiser coming in, gets the blood pumpin for sure.

Heading to a stand on afternoon I had such a beast making racket. I stalked that sumbitch for a 1/2 hour. Sounded like a buck tending a scrape. I damn near wanted to shoot him with the .280 just for the hell he put me through. Then the little bastard sat there and barked at me.

I'll give you one, but only if you started your fire with flint & steel.

BullCamp, About the Merit badge, Don't worry dude, I was stupid when I was younger, and I certainly don't deserve it. I respect the Cemetery now, and I don't go in there unless it's to barry our dead and pay the last respects to that person who has died. I was merely stating a fact nothing in the woods don't scare me but I do feel alive when I am in them.

Hey, I'm just razzing you bro. It's cool that you feel so alive in the woods. That's what it's all about. If we didn't feel that way there would be no point to it for us.

But being scared in the woods......well.....when you go back in after that second or third load of elk meat in the dark, in grizz country, in wind when you can't hear well.......and something goes crash in the brush. I'm scared sh*tless.
