I`m not trying to hi-jack a thread, but as to scary nights in the woods..

A buddy of mines dad once told us a tale from his most recent moose hunting trip in Ontario with a group of guys he ran with.
There was a new guy in the camp on his 1st hunt this year that seemed a little skittish about the woods after dark, especially after a few beers, and listening to wolf and bear tales that were being told around the evening fire for his amusment. They played on it, and had the poor guy afraid to leave the tent to pee by lights out.
They finally settled down for the night and this newbie fell into a nervous sleep. He woke up about an hr later grabbing for his rifle screaming that there was a wolf in the tent. My buddies dad said it took two of them to hold him down disarm and calm him. He said he was afraid the guy was going to go off shooting at shadows he was so worked up. The guy kept telling them was sure the animal had come in the tent and had sniffed him, he was sure had felt its "cold nose" on his leg.
It turned out the cold zipper on the guys sleeping bag was what had woke him and along with the beer and fireside tales he wasn`t in the best frame of mind to figure it out.
Don`t know if the story is true, but us kids were intertained anew by the thought everytime the poor guy was mentioned for quit a while after hearing it.
