after watching tv show with my kids on friday night (movie happened to be about monsters in the woods eating people) and getting up early to spring turkey..walking a horse trail over a grown up field on a ridge to my stand I had to pass many a honeysuckle bush in moonlight,stars..stopping now and then to take it all in while listening to the whipperwhill call,,all of sudden, this monster jumped out of a bush, grabbed my shotgun off my shoulder and tried to wrestle it from me..he was as big as the bush and hairy with fangs about a foot long and foam dripping from his mouth..the meanest honeysuckle bush I ever seen..after the laughing outloud to myself, I decided no more monster shows the night before..
hunting for my lost buddy after a day of bear hunting in north east pa woods..and finding him a mile down the road sick, overheated and everything else a lost hunter in the big woods can be, I tossed him onto the deer rack on back of the truck (first thing hauled on it too)..then drove him back to camp where I got him in his bag while I set up camp and made him coffee..he never left the back of the truck the next 2 days of the hunt either..
gettin shot by bunny hunter when he pulled a chenny on me..don't hunt with him either
having my beagle shot only 5 yds in front of me in brush..by another hunter..he had to sell his 69 chevelle to pay for my dog and I don't hunt with him either.
having turkey hunters on the side of quad trail that seperates gameland and private property (my daughter and I on gameland side) walk over my deks and under my orange ribbons hanging on limbs in their face only to set up 20yds faceing our direction and start calling birds..even after I put my orange vest on and stood up from the tree with about 4 orange hats and orange ribbon tied around the tree.. to defy him to not know we were there..2 of them..I ended up having to walk the 19 yards to his face and say words I didn't even know I knew that my daughter said wooo..never seen you so mad dad..I told him I would crawl up his gun and shove it down his throat so far the drs wouldn't even be able to remove it..he stated he was on private land and I told him things I can't say here about him and his private land... I still set up on this spot and is where I have taken 6 new hunters for their first spring bird.
the list goes on and on over the years..and I have to leave this thread now as the hackles are popping up in the neck thinking of other times that qualify for this post.....and my wife just hates it that I hunt alone (unless with my daughters) since the bypass and 5 heart attacks and numerous stents from the past..
what scares me the most isn't having ticker problems while alone out there or the bugs,ants etc that will find me but is the possum that will find me..lol..I will be found with butt tucked into the tightest tree stump I can find...and I told her just look for the crows in a few days and I will be there..with a smile...lol..
