dance.and.shoot Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I was walking to my stand one morning and heard something running through the woods I thought it was just deer. Well it sound got closer and closer and thought to my self deer do not run towards you so i stopped and shined my light and noticed that there was a mama black bear and behind her was two cubs. I stared at her and she stared at me the cubs took off running the other way and shortly after so did the mama. This was during late muzzleloading season and i didn't even have a cap in the breach. Dang...i'd be shakin' in my boots!!! That's fo sho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Shooter Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I remember 4 yrs ago I was hunting one of my favorite spots that I waited to hunt with the right wind. I snuck in and got set up and waited. After a night of good activity I went to leave, as I walked across the picked cornfield I hear something behind me in the stalks. I turned around and it stopped, I walked and it started again. I walked faster and no matter what, it was always right behind me. I was really starting to worry about what the heck it was, I turned quick and I hear the thing to my left. I then start to look around in the dark with no light trying to find out what it is. After a few minutes I take off on a jog and I hear it again. I get out of the cornfield and in to the grass strip and then I see it. Its white and it is hoping and jumping after me, I take off running and its on me no matter what I do. I turn around to kick it and thats when I realize what it was, and at that moment I told myself that I would never tell anyone what happened that night. it was my dang drag rag I had wrapped around my boot walking in. I forgot I put it on and it was about to be the death of me that night!!! Had to wash my scent lok that night because i was sweating so much from be paranoid and the fact my fat butt was running with 1200 gram lacrosse boots. I am crying and blowing coffee out of my nose reading this, that was great!!!!! My experience happened about 6 years ago while heading to go bowhunting. Now, this story will be understood by those in the ages of 35+ years or older and into horror flicks. Remember the movie "It's Alive", about a jumping, two clawed fingered, fanged, killer baby-that killed all the nurses and doctors when it was born in the delivery room. This booger made some God awful cry and scared the bejusus out of me as a kid. Here's the scenario-I'm walking into my stand an hour before daylight and I here this scream that brings back memories of my childhood being scared to death of the killer baby. By the way, I had all ready beat the crap out of a fake babydoll stuffed into my sleeping bag while camping in the back yard that was put in there by my sister and mother. Anyway, this baby has risen from the dead and is now following me in the woods and I'm 50 yards from my stand. I'm 36 years old and scared to death and can actually here this thing walking in the leaves behind me and screaming at me. I just knew I was going to be eaten by this devil baby. I don't think I've ever climbed in my climber this fast when I reached it, after 10 minutes up in the tree; this thing leaves me alone. It took me a while and the comfort of daylight to calm down. About an hour after daylight, I here this scream again and it's coming my way. I grab my bow and going to shoot this dang thing that is got me shaking like a wet cat! As it comes closer and closer, my nerves are shot and then I see it. A huge bobcat is just lumbering along with something behind. The cat walks then stops, walks then stops, then I see what it is. A female fox is fuzzed up like a cat and screaming at this bobcat apparrently trying to ward it away from its den. It hit me, she was doing the same thing to me in the mornging walking in before daylight.. Fox or not, it brought back childhood memories and a great story my sister and mother cried laughing when I told them that the "It's Alive" baby was after in the woods, again!

ultratec1 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Well everyone I would be lying if I told you that I wasnt mad. I kicked at it and it went flying in the air without me even touching it. Thats when I looked at it with the most confused look on my face, one of those "what in the......" then I realized. Came real close to throwing my gear when I found out what it was. It was one those times where you are mad as a hornet at first then think about how dumb you must have looked to the guy in the combine picking the field. Fat guy running down the lane kicking and jumping looking like someone that should be wearing a white "special" jacket..

bowhuntMN Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 ok, I dont tell people cause i dont want people to think i'm a wacko but here it is. I was bow hunting a secton of state land I had not hunter before, I packed in a climbing stand and found a tree and shimmied up it...well at about sunrise I heard dogs barking and a lady talking...I was like CRAP, i'm too close to some peoples house, but i saw a deer and decided to just wait it out (thinking that i was still on state land just close to private). as it got closer to like 10 I climbed down and chould still hear the lady and some kids playing. Well i left and went home and looked up the property on my map program and determined there was no way it was a house, so I went back that afternoon to see if there were some people camping chouldn't find anything, founds some rocks but that was it. later I found out from the dnr officer who works in the area that the state got the property from a MURDER CASE...a guy went nuts killed his dogs, his wife and his daughters and then comitted suicide, no one claimed the property so the state got it and turned it into state hunting land.....at this point I was basically pooping my self in front of the officer...and then just to make me really poop my self he explaind where the old house use to be and guess what, I was hunting about 200 yards from it (more or less) and the rocks I found wile walking....you guessed it, the old home foundation......ya i pooped my self. Other than that one, I whould say steppin on a phesant durring gun season in the dark...thats a close second......I did poop then too that is absolutely CREEPY!!! :jaw: i would've been crappin myself too!! i love how stories like this get my blood pumping but they will definately get me creeped out everytime i go out to my stand from now on. I would not go back there if i were you :no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhuntMN Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 My buddy hunts on haunted land. He took me out once and he told me that if I saw anybody not to yell at them or be rude. I asked him if someone else was hunting and he replied with a " you could say that". About 4 o'clock I had made a bad shot on a doe so I decided to sit in the woods for the remainder of the day to let it lay down. Well up in the tree and it was about to get dark but I could see just enough, here come someone walkin through the woods in black. And now I couldnt tell wha they had black on, but I could tell it was loose fittin, had a facemask on and they were walkin slow. I assumed someone had a ground blind near and they were gettin outta the woods. Well they stop, nealt down beside a rock like they were praying. I was freaking out thought they were having problems so I asked out, " Hey mister you needing some help?'' No answer. So I asked out again "Raise your hand if you need my help". Well the dark figure stands up, turns toward me and looks up at me. Well I couldnt really see and I had a REALLY bright flashlight so I shined it down there. WOW! It was someone super white. Im talkin caspers cousin white, with jet black eyes and wearin a dress in all black with the funeral black mask that most wemon wear. Dude my light went straight off, and as soon as it did. This person lets off the loudest scram I have ever heard! Im talkin LOUD! I look back down at them, and they're gone... Well thinkin it may have been my bud puttin someone up to it, I shrugged it off and climbed down in the dark to find my deer. Well I go to call my buddy. No cell service! And I just had it before I climed the tree ealier in the same spot. So I was feelin weird. So I got my flashlight out, lookin for blood when all of the sudden I see somethin blck run by me and smacked the flashlight outta my hand, it looked to be the same person from earlier! So Im freakin out by now. I looked for my light thinkin the person knocked my bulb loose or something, didnt find it and it was pitch black darkness! Well I start cussin the person sob and what not, when my pal walks up and he covers my mouth. He told me to please be quiet he dosent want to upset "her". I told him yea right it was him and if it wasnt how did her get here from his stand so fast. He said it wasnt him and that he herard the scream. I blew him off thinkin it was him. Never found my light. So we're wlakin out of the woods and he tells me the story. A woman and husband and kids uesd to live up by the road. And there house burned down a long time ago. It burned down and one of the kids got burned real bad. And they didnt have the money to take him to the hospital. So her and her husband killed the kid.! And they didnt think it was fair for the little girl to be alive so they killed her too!!! they went out into the woods and buried the kids. Well the police found out that the kids were missing and the parents went on for ever sayin the kids burned up in the fire. But the old woman was afraid that her husband was goin to tell the cops the real story so she shot him too! Well to keep his murder down he buried him somewhere else and she went down to the location of her kids grave and she tied a concrete block to her leg and drowned herself in the deep pond on the side of the property!! And it just so happends she comes out at dark to see her kids every night. My buddy says he has followed her. She comes out of the lake right at sunset and roams through the shadows to her kid sgrave. And that he has pissed her off before too. Well we stop by the rock the woman was knealing at and it said beloved kids!!!!! Im feaking out while were walking out of the woods thinkin shes gonna get me. So right as we hit the grassy feild I said low " I'm sorry lady". Well we get to his house and talk for a bit. I drive like a bat outta you kno what home. And my little cousin is there. Hes very young. He comes up to me and said a woman came up to him in the yard. She gave him this flashlight and told him that it was mine to give it to me. Well it just so happens this was the light I lost in the woods!!! I asked him what she looked like he said I dunno it was dark but she was wearin a black dress like mommy wears when someone passes away!!!!!!! Till this day I will never hunt there again!:disolve: this is by far the creapiest story i've ever heard....i dont even know what to say to this.... how does your buddy hunt there?! he's got cajones for doing so! jeez that just blows my mind that something like that happened to you :jaw: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbarnhart20 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 While climbing my climbing stand one afternoon, i got up to a point where i needed to cut a decent size branch, (climbing with no harness by the way) i cut it and it kicked back and knocked me down. I'm hanging there upside down with my feet still in the climbing straps on the stand. Knowing that no one would be by till dark, i was worried, everything I had dropped out of my pockets so I had no cell phone either. Some how after trying to decide what to do, i had the strength to pull myself back up into my stand (prob. couldn't do it again If I tried) but needless to say I thought I had two broken ankles and they were sore for a few days! Oh yea! I stuck a doe about ten minutes after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjr Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Several years ago we were turkey hunting around Hundred WV. My cousins kept telling this story about a crazy Vietnam vet, Jack Stoneking, that lived up in the woods and was always doing all kinds of crazy stuff, shooting at people, slashing tires, throwing rotten carcasses on people and vehicles and so on. Baffled by the BS a friend and I were riding our ATV's around one evening scouting for turkeys and came across a road that had a bunch of crazy "keep out" signs. There was also two large piles of old bones and a couple of animal carcasses laying around. Well for some stupid reason we decided to drive down the road. As we rounded a corner we came upon an old house and a guy digging something out of the bank along the road. As soon as the guy saw us, maybe 25-30 feet away he got up and came running right at me. Before I could even grab the handle bar brakes he had a single shot shotgun planted on my chest. Super pucker factor. I immediately began trying to talk the guy down but one second he would be fine and then next second he would be tensing up to shoot. Asking us why we came up here, I now sputtered something out about some guys telling us to come up here and to ask for permission to turkey hunt. I can remember his answer plain as day, " well someone has played a bad joke on you boys, get off of your bikes". I had a pistol on me and thought about grabbing the barrel of the shotgun and drawing, but when I looked up there was a second guy standing in the doorway of the house with a scoped rifle pointing at us. At that point all that I could hear is my heart pounding and dueling banjo's. Once off of the ATV's the guy wanted to see the bottoms of our boots. My friend had been hunting in the general area a couple of days earlier and said that one morning he saw some guy dragging/grading the roadway. Well it was the same guy. He told us he drags the roadway so he can see and track where people wander. Thank God that my friend had a different pair of boots on. Probably 10 to 15 minutes into this thing the guy starts calming down but then he says "you know what's the best thing about them there ATV's", shrugging our shoulders he now said " I can break your Fing neck's, throw you over the hill and everyone will think that it was an accident". Sounds to me like bad just got worse. Trying to talk to this guy my friend dropped a couple of names of people that we knew in the area. One name would calm him down but the next would fire him back up. About 20 minutes later a third guy comes walking out of the woods completely dressed in camo, carrying a shotgun. Recognizing the guy; I gave him a ride on my ATV a couple of days earlier, he now calmed his brother down and told us to get out of there. Down the road we went and aint been back since! Lesson learned "keep out" means keep out !!!!! This would have to be the spookiest thing that has ever happened to me period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
