weird sounds
« on: May 04, 2011, 05:49:15 PM »
Several yrs back, I was bowhunting with my buddies in so. Il. It was the last day before shot gun season....I was about 3/4 of a mile into the woods in a climbing stand. it was hotter than hell that yr and we were seeing no deer. About 10 min left of shooting light, 2 doe come running full bore past me. I lead the 1st deer and shoot just in front of it . The deer hit the brakes and did about 3 summersaults....it was hilarious.....Needless to say , I didnt get it . Broke down my stand and started the long trek in the dark to my truck about 1/4 mile away. Loaded my backpack and my stand on my back. Now I dont spook easily in the woods in the dark, however, I was walking along and thought i saw something on my right side. I turned quickly and heard a sound ive never heard before....it was a BLUP BLUB BLUB sound right behind me. I bout jumped out of my skin. Then I realized that it was the half finished 1 litre water bottle in my backpack. Boy did I feel like a boob. The real funny thing is that I did the same thing about 2 yrs later. Its a funny story. Enjoy!

Great story!!!  Funny how these things happen!

I have one (I'm sure everyone does!)

In 1985 I went on my 1st black bear hunt in NewBrunswick Canada.  I was put in a ground blind about 3/4 mile down a tote road.  The guide said, when it's too dark to see anything in your scope...get outta your stand on the left....go down to the road...turn left and keep walking till you hit the main logging road and wait for me to pick you up.  OK..so far so good.

At 9ish the first night, it was almost pitch black, so I carefully got out of the blind and did as I was told.  It was eerily quiet...I walked and walked and began to think I zigged instead of zagged and my mind started playing tricks on me......I got my 3 cell mag-lite in my left hand and my 270 in my right and picked up the pace.  As I continued walking I saw the end of the tote road and the intersection of the logging road in the distance (being late spring, the tote road was covered by a canopy of trees in full leaf).  My heart and pace quickened and as I approached the last 60-70 yards, all of the demons of the forrest attacked me...scratching and screeching and crashing through the dense undergrowth!!!!

I wheeled around with the 270 at the ready...maglite on full.....Rambo wouldda been so proud....my heart beat'n, sweat pour'n down my neck....and there it was....the biggest, gnarliest, startled porkipine I ever did see trying to climb a dead tree about 4 feet from where I was standing.....he was scratching and knocking off dead branches and cuss'n......

Well.....clearly it was an angry bigfoot...cause I would NEVER have reacted like that to a mere porkipine.....

Tough being a city boy..........

I've never been afraid of the dark but one year in ILL many years ago I was walking down an old field road towards a river bottom to bow hunt. It had rained that night and there was no moon, no stars, no breeze,and I never carried a flashlight. Road had trees and brush on both sides and I was moving very slowly feeling my way along, the air was deathly still, not a sound to be heard. About 1/2 way down the road suddenly a huge horned owl hooted just above my head. Man, I about came out of my skin til I realized what it was. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D

That reminds me of the time I was going into the woods to my deer blind and spooked a bunch of roosting turkeys out of the pines ......scared the crap out of me.
