Let's see, a funeral papoose hung in a tree(empty), 2 steam donkeys, a dead moose calf 8 feet off the ground hung up in a highway game fence, and watched a grouse fly into a tree while avoidng a hawk.

Had A hot air balloonist come down in the field I was hunting,,thing was huge,,,it was a touch and go landing,,glad he didn't hang around
Late season last year I was up in one of my favarite stands overlooking a waterhole which now was startin to freeze,,here comes this Doe,,she was looking for a drink of water I guess,,,she put her front leg on the partially frozen water and slid head first and crashed through into the waterhole,,she completely disappeared for a moment,,thrashing to get out,she quickly did,,it was a helluva noise,,she then proceeded to lick herself dry and regain her composure for about 15 minutes right in front of me,,this all took place inside 10 yards to my stand

A beautiful white doe...
While hunting in a middle of the field ground blind, I had 20+ young fawns and does come and sniff out me and the blind. I couldn't move an inch for what seemed like an eternity. I could hear every lil bodily function they performed and my heart beating through my chest. They just stayed within feet from me until dark. It was the 1st day of the season and it never happened again.

Re: What things have you come across ,hunting
Was still hunting through a stand of cedars. Came out the other side and there was a whole bunch of big bags of Promix, layed out and covered with burlap. Out of every one was growing a marijuana plant. Musta been a hundred of em ready for harvest.
Smiled, looked around, and left.

Re: What things have you come across ,hunting
I was sitting on the edge of a woods overlooking a field one evening when I heard something to my right and out of the corner of my eye I saw a fawn walking out of the woods about 4 feet from me, and about 20 seconds later one walked out about 3 feet on my left. Then I heard something behind me sniffing me, then retreat back a few feet and move to my right... then walk around me to the other side in a half moon about 5 feet away.
(I must have looked like a statue as I never moved)
It was the doe checking me out. A couple minutes later she walked up behind and sniffed my hat again, then retreated back a few yards and stomped her foot. The fawns looked like someone had slapped them on the butt as they vacated the field right in front of me when she stomped her foot.
I don't think she ever really knew what I was, as I used to put a couple drops of skunk scent on my hat for masking.

Re: What things have you come across ,hunting
Another time I took my little brother with me to help him get his first deer with a bow. When we got where we were going we could see a doe feeding on the end of a few rows of corn that had been left for the deer. I told my brother to go in a couple rows and see if he could sneak close enough for a shot while I hid ia a little draw that the main trail went through. I watched him step out of the corn and release his arrow but didn't know if he had hit her or not. About 10 seconds later here she came barreling down the trail with an arrow protruding from her side. She didn't see me and if I wouldn't have stood up and yelled I think she would have run me over
We found her 40 yards farther laying next to a spruce tree!

Re: What things have you come across ,hunting
on a cool autumn morning bass fishing in lake Kissimmee, throwing worms across cypress stumps, dawn was just starting to crack, made out some thing sliding on the water towards my boat, a 17' jon boat with a 9.9 h.p. kicker. My buddy was fishing the back i was in front, workin the trolling motor, He being from N.J. and not familiar with fishing in the south, Anyway he yelled snake! Sure enough a 5 foot water moccasin slid into the back behind the transom and wrapped himself around the motor under neath the cover....One of the funniest things i have ever seen.. The expression on his face as he nearly knocked me off the boat getting away....It was a great memory i won't ever forget...And a real pain in the butt getin that snake unwrapped off my motor.

Re: What things have you come across ,hunting
I have another one that was so funny to me,I was hunting on my 30acres river bottom.It was early morning and I was in my gun stand.I heard something coming through the woods and I saw a man walking toward my stand.I hard my head net on ,so I slumped down in my chair to see what he was up to.He kept coming,crossed the creek .Then he climbed up my ladder!I turned and looked through my window and said what are you doing here.He said I am looking for my brother.I told him your brother isn,t here,and get out of here ,your on privite land . I thought he was going to break his neck getting off my ladder! As he was walking away I seen he had a hack saw in his had,he was going to cut the lock on my stand.Never seenhim again ! Ron!

I shot my rifle the other direction as he crossed my creek.He told someone I knew that lived there that he did have to change his underware when he got home! It scared the crap, litterally out of him !

Re: What things have you come across ,hunting
Found my kids boyfriend after a a recent turkey hunt I took him on.
Told him to move to a different position of the large wid rose bush we set up under/near when i heard a tom coming in from a different position and to take the gear with him that way he and it wouldnt be spotted. I pointed to the spot and and he proceeded to start to walk in front of me. Stopped him and told him to turn around and go around the bush.
A couple minutes pass and still no kid, it wasnt a big bush maybe 20feet long roughly. A couple more minutes pass and still no kid and then I noticed the gear is still where it "shouldnt be".
Well.... more time passes, no kid and the turkey stops calling/coming towards us so i call it quits. Considering I now have no idea where he is at and the turkey stopped i am both frustrated and confused.
I put my bow on the ground and go to start looking for him wondering what the hell happened to him.
As it turns out, he did start to go around the rose bush but stopped at the very end and stayed there (minus the gear).
Yeah.... this is only one of many "adventures" with him since I started taking him with me. I think its been about 7 times so far and not once has something "boring" happened. Kinda feel I have/need to keep taking him with me otherwise something really screwy could happen.
Our hunting episodes would probably make a great tv show too and none of it would be made up. The best part is is that he goes for his bow test this weekend (vert compound).
He's a good kid, treats my daughter right but.....LOL
