layin on the smackdown Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Well Alan, to be honest, i have seen alot including things that i really to this day don't know what they were...Ive seen absolute giants, ive seen button bucks, ive seen deer fall through ice while crossing frozen rivers...ive seen idiots shooting at deer while in a truck driving through CRP ground (which i called in but never got the outcome), Ive seen my bow laying on the ground attached to my lift string while a giant has walked by, ive seen something that kind of looked like a shaved raccoon, but with a black tail, ive seen the all infamous "squirell rut", ive seen a hawk kill a bird in flight, ive seen thousands upon thousands of ducks and geese pile into one small 70 acre cut corn field, ive seen what it looks like when you shoot at a giant buck and end up with a small tree on the end of your arrow, ive seen deer bedded down 30 yds from the tree i just got into, ive walked past bedded bucks during the rut and had them just watch me walk by (of course i didn't have an arrow nocked-beginner mistake) ive seen two giants go at it head to head for over 20 minutes, ive seen does fight standing on their hind legs almost like boxers, ive seen a momma doe chase off a coyote like it was her job, ive heard turkeys gobble in the fall, and last but not the last, my fiance had an encounter with a true albino (doe) deer at 20 yds...The list goes on, and it will never stop....get on out there buddy and look forward to what you will see... dan Edited November 5, 2009 by layin on the smackdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coles Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 shot multiple coyotes that walked out in front of me. Seen Grizzly bears, elk, moose...etc. Never a dull moment here in MT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 ever had a coyote walk infront of your stand and scare ur deer away or had to shoot it??Multiple times. Of course I hunt in "coyote central." Also saw something a bit different 2 or 3 years ago. I was hunting in West Texas and had a large, mature doe standing in the brush about 40 yards away. All of a sudden she went on point and started staring off to her right. Next thing I know she's gone from standing still to a full throttle, hold nothing back, get the heck out of Dodge, run. And right behind her was a big bobcat, also in a full run. So, if anyone ever tries to tell you that a bobcat won't bother a deer...better go ask that doe, because she was about 2 steps away from getting eaten.

Buckeye54 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I don't get to see awhole lot of different animals like bear, moose , elk etc., just the common stuff. Aside from the normal deer fights, coyotes, fox and such, I had a Great Horned Owl land on a tree branch not 10 feet from, then swoop down and pick up a mouse in the brush under my tree. The funniest thing I ever saw was the daughter of the landowner and her boyfriend.....well you get the picture. Funny things was, she knew I was in the woods that day 'cause she walked right by my truck parked in the lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col3 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Ive had birds land on my arrow, and bigger birds land on my bow while its in my hand, a coyote four feet away staring at me while i was on the ground one day, moose, elk, bears, saw a little spike on year beat the crap out of a decent 7 point, not sure how that worked, but he really let him have it and was the deffinate winner of that fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I've seen too many things to list here. Funny one was when I was sitting on a stump and had a oppossum waddle by. He never saw me so when he got right in front of me, I jumped at him, he freaked, rolled over and played dead, LOL. He just layed there on his side for like 10 minutes, then he woke up, looked at me, and waddled away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tp793 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Haha, I like this thread, it's cracking me up. I think the coolest things I've seen in stand probably would be watching a hawk circle above me for about five minutes, then nose dive into a field and shortly afterwards hearing a rabbit screaming. Having a raccoon crawl down a tree about five feet in front of me, that one got the heart pumping a little quicker. I think my favorite was turkey hunting and having a yearling doe come within three feet of me without being able to figure me out and finally just walked off.

brad dryden Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 The wildest thing I seen was a mountain lion while turkey hunting here where I hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shouldershot_karry_ann Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 the only thing i ever saw in the woods were a few (very few) deer and about 10 turkeys. seeing turkeys was really cool because we havent had turkeys in our woods for 25 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 The usual here, bears (black), coyote, fox, deer (of course!) turkeys, chipmonks, squirrels. Most coolest thing I saw was a buck chasing a doe. Don't see that very often, only twice. Last year heard a deer come running behind me down this small hollow. It stopped behind some laurel so I thought I'd get my grunt call out just to see what would happen. Heard some running again behind me after the grunt and a deer stopped right behind me below my stand. Big 4 point with a thick, swollen neck. Walked right under me but left at a 45 degree angle and never gave me a shot. The doe took off and he went right after her. Pretty cool stuff!

MNhunterr Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I had a little bird land on the barrel of my rifle and then onto my arm today. Was quite neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I guess the most memorable thing was a watching a raccoon awaken from his home inside a hallow tree that was about 10 yards from my stand. He lazily popped his head out of the hole, then his arms, smacked his chopps and yawned. He looked at me as if saying hello there, and then climbed to the forest floor for the night.
