257bob Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? When I was younger, maybe 10-12, I was fishing with my dad and his best friend. I was sitting in a lawn chair with my catfish poles in rod holders out in front of me. I had dozed off. My dad and his friend were evil. They watched laughing histerically as a Raccoon walked down the bank toward me, stopped and put its front two feet up on my knees and looked me in the face. I was sleeping and felt something on my legs so I opened my eyes, and then commenced to scream like a 5 year old girl. I don't know if I have ever seen my dad laugh so hard in his life. I know it wasn't a hunting story, but thought it was relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny_gun Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? One day while bow hunting at my fathers house I was sitting in my treestand with my bow in my lap and an arrow nocked. When all of a sudden I had two birds land on my arrow. Not sure what to do I thought I would just sit still and see what happened. Well they stayed there for almost 10 minutes before they flew off. When they left it was not because I scared them either.

njbowhunter27 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? 2 years ago while I was bowhunting I had shot a little 3 pointer. I watched the deer drop at about 30 yards. the next thing I seen was two guys pull up on a quad. Before I even had a chance to get out of my stand. They stopped the quad and started pokeing at my deer. I had to yell to get them to see me because the quad was still running. After I got down they said they were looking for a deer they shot the day before. I insured them that it was not theirs and that they where on private property. they apoligized and went on there way. If they had drove through 5 minutes earlier. I may have acted a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot my bow hanger one day and had to keep my bow in my lap...just like my gun, i had a bird come in and land on my arrow, he just looked at me for about a minute. I finally just wispered "whats up" and he turned his head all cockeyed and then flew off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallone Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? This happened to my friend last year, he got to his spot to park and there was another car there, he didn't pay much attention to it considering the size of the lease and amount of members. He made his morning hunt and as he was coming out he looked off in the woods and saw a man leaned up against a tree sitting on a blanket with a few beer bottles some medicine bottles and a revolver taped to a branch he looked like he changed his mind about the gun and overdosed. As my friend went to his car to call the police he started noticing big taped arrows that lead from his car to where he was at all down the trial he had walked in on.

Guest buckhunter44 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? You guys have some crazy stories. Mine was last year, it wasn't weird but it was really cool. I was videoing my hunting partner and dusk was turning into darkness. All of a sudden we heard walking. I was so dark we couldn't make out what it was, however, it finally turned and came right to the base of our tree. It turned out to be a little buck. He noticed my buddy's bow laying on the ground (he had already lowered it because we were getting down). The deer bent down and licked and smelled my buddy's arrows on his quiver. Then he smelled around on our ladder sticks...wait there's more. After he got done sniffing around he picked his head up and got his rack tangled in my buddies bow rope, I swear I'm telling the truth! In all of this he never got spooked until we started laughing at him. Finally he looked up at us and trotted away about 10 yards and walked off.

Guest deadeye270 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? two storys . 1. Hunting about five years ago. Pitch black morning, I climb up a tree with my climbing stand and get settled in. Sat there for about half hour waiting on daylight. Finally it was light enough to see, I began to look around only to find a nice gobbler about 5ft from me. He was as suprised to see me as I was to see him...needless to say I had to change my britches when he flew away. 2. I was hunting with my buddy in PA during the prerut. Had a doe come up and start nibbling on leaves at the base of the tree. The doe had a white spot on her hip. My buddy reaches in his bag and pours out some tinks 69 and hits this doe in the back. She smelled her back and then walked off. A couple hours later after our hunt we were walking back to the truck when this same doe came running by with two buck right on her tail. we almost fell down laughing. Felt bad for the doe.... my buddy has a wierd since of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutter Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? A few years back I was setup in a tree line between two hay fields. I could hear something approaching ? It was very thick cover and couldn't see behind me. All I could see was what looked like one of those big red frizzy wigs that clown wear coming threw the brush? Turns out it was a young Whitetail with a bunch of orange bailer twine caught in his antlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clarkw Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? It was Nov 2004, I had my Carry Lite decoy out as a doe. I take toilet paper and rubber band it to the tail so it hangs down and blows in the wind. I had doe estrous on a scent wick on the ground beneath her tail. This 12 pointer (small basket rack 8 pointer with 2 inch long kickers coming off the base of each antler) came up behind her, sniffed licked and then frickin mounted her for 2-3 minutes. His front legs rubbing against the hard plastic body. I started grunting 'cause I thought he would break her. Finally he got off, she was leaning about 45degrees, he turned licked his lips and mounted her again. I was in total disbelief. She finally fell down and he left. I walked up to the decoy to check out the scene, and lets just say the toilet paper was all soaked (I dare not touch) and torn in little pieces. My brother always takes his video camera out and kept bugging me to, and I blew it. Something I'll never forget. Always take out your video camers boys and girls! Ryan.

Stinger-Hunter Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? Three years ago I was hunting in Marion County indiana (Indianapolis) during bow season. i usually stalked for the last 45 minutes of my hunt (before work). I found myself staring at 4 wild dogs coming right at me. I made some noise so that they would see me and take off, but the lead dog saw me and immediately continued toward me growling. The other dogs followed his lead. I shot him in the chest and immediately knocked another arrow and was about to shoot the second dog, which was still coming at me. After some yelping and rolling around from the first dog, he finally took off and the others followed. I waited 5 minutes before following the blood trail. I found the dog laying down and barely breathing in a drainage tunnel that ran underneath a road which led to a highschool about 100 yards away. The dog saw me and hobbled up to the road (after losing about 1 1/2 gallons of blood (it was a lot, more than any deer I've ever shot). I heard a car door open and then close from someone driving to the highschool. When I went up to see where the dog was, there was no sign of it. I saw the other 3 dogs again several times that year, but never the one that I shot. Very scary!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? Last thing was in 2005 I was sitting in my treestand in the afternoon. about 300 yards away is a backroad that few people drive on. For 2 hours police cars would speed down the road with their sirens on. At first I thought something serious was happening, then I figured I'd call and find out. The local police station was having an open hours and they were giving rides to kids the whole afternoon. Not a good day to hunt near the road. Didn't see a single deer that day.

KenW Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? About twenty years ago while hunting a farm Steve (buckee) had gotten permission to hunt on for half a season. Steve had shot a young buck near the end of a field and i was hunting about 400 yards away in the bush. Just after Steve shot i had a doe show up but it was getting to dark in the woods to shoot so i let the doe walk,but she didn't leave when i got up to leave she followed me like a faithful dog.She followed me out to the trail where i waited for Steve and his son to see what they had gotten. When Steve and Troy showed up this doe was still there. As we walked back to the vehicle dragging the dead buck and talking, the doe followed close behind us the whole way, and didn't leave until we drove off. Someone must have been hand feeding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tclubbs2 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? Probably not the weirdest but one of the funniest. My buddy and I were hunting one evening. He shot a buck with a bow while stalking. He found me and we waited for about an hour and a half and started searching for it. We lost the blood trail and decided to leave. He gets a dumb idea to look for it on a quad. I waited and he came back a little while later. We put the farmer's quad up and left. When we got to his house he realized he did not have the key to the quad. we went back and searched for a couple of hours on our hands and knees with our flashlights. Could not find it. The next morning about 530 I drove us back to hunt then look for both the key and the buck. When we were walking away from the car I realized I forgot my flashlight. I waled back, as soon as the door latched I looked down and saw my keys sitting in the front seat of the locked car. We hunted for til 9 then called a locksmith to unlock my car and make a new key for the quad. Never did find the deer. Not a good weekend. We still laugh about it though.

Guest always_ruttin Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Re: Weirdest thing you\'ve ever seen while hunting? 1. It was a few years ago while bowhunting in northeast missouri. My uncle farms and owns a couple thousand acres of land so I decided to hunt on it. I found a good clearing by a creek and decided to hunt there. All the trees were dead and there was a lot of fallen branches around so I made a blind out of the fallen branches and sat on a log. Just before dark I watched a couple of does come into the opening and decided I would shoot one of the larger does. As they got about thirty yards away I felt something brush my leg. I didn't want to look down for fear of spooking the does so I didn't. A few seconds later I saw a oppossum walking toward the deer, it was what had brushed my leg. It was under the branch the entire time I made my blind and several hours I sat there. Needless to say for some reason it spooked the does and I didn't get my shot. 2. This past year I had the opportunity to work as a guide for IMB Outfitters here in northeast Misouri. (www.imbmonsterbucks.com) which was a cool experience for me. But, anyway, a hunter I had guided had shot a shot a buck and we were trying to recover it. We followed the blood trail to an open field where we met two other hunters who were following the same trail we were on but in the opposite direction. After talking to them we realized we were walking the trail their deer had run which ran right past my hunters stand. They had a video of their kill and in the video a doe walked by the stand and stopped so they used a bleet call and all of a sudden a buck shows up and starts mounting the doe they draw and shoot low on the buck and spine the doe. The doe falls and the buck proceeds to breed her and they knock another arrow and shoot the buck this time with a good shot. We helped them recover their deer as well as the deer my hunter had shot. Not really weird or spooky but I thought it was interesting enough to share with you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
