Strange or unusall things seen while hunting

[Doug in MN]

Northern Minnesota 2006.

Hill River we were out deer hunting in mid October. We hunt this area every year; there are more than a few Wolfs here. I was walking back to my stand alone late in the AM got that hair on the back of my neck feeling. Turned and saw a large all silver wolf walking in the same trail and approaching fast head down. I stooped and nocked an arrow feeling this was going to get serious.

I wear wool just old faded shirts and pants nothing fancy no sent lock or any thing. The wolf never did anything but head down to the same trail as I was on, as he passed he slowed down looked up sniffed me and just kept going.

I used to hunt a farm in the mountains of SW PA and saw a black goat running with a small herd of deer.  The second time I saw this, I asked the farmer and he said that one day his goat saw some deer out in a field and joined them, never to return.  I was surprised that the deer accepted the goat.

Hey Doug, maybe it was just one old dog to another lol. Sorry just couldn't resist.

I was hunting antelope when I saw a golden eagle dive bomb an antelope fawn. He plummeted out of the sky and nailed the little goat right on the neck. The antelope went right down and the eagle had a fresh meal. That was quite a show.

I rember the first time I saw a fisher in NYs southern zone before there was one in every woodlot.I couldnt believe my eyes.Same place a 350 pig which wound up getting shot, a black goat, a chinese golden pheasant that cost me 2 arrows and 6 misses, an antlered doe and a bearded hen turkey.All this on the same hill! Its close to several farms but it is wilder country.I think aliens have something to do with the weird encounters on this hill.  :eek:

My Cousin his Buddy and I were wrapping up a day of footing around in the wilderness and were resting at an abandoned camp. We had just popped the top on our beers. We were about to share what we had seen. We were all sitting in a line on a couch when all of a sudden.....we saw a great big tan animal with a short, stumpy tail, like a dogs cropped tail, it was just trotting by. It stopped in front of us and its head that was looking in the other direction turned towards us. When it looked at us all three of us shuttered, spilling our beesr and kind of grabed one an other and let out a Uuhhhhh...ahh sound from our throats. It was the biggest, meanest, toughest, teeth barring panther I had ever seen. It took off silently like it came. We started to laugh because the three of us thought the same thing. It was a real big Great Dane until it looked at us and flexed its muscles and barred its teeth.

My brother and I were hunting a well known draw only hunting area just west of St. Louis Missouri. Little brother was hunting about 150 yards down the draw from me. About and hour after we climb the trees I heard a commotion down toward my brothers stand and shortly after wards I heard a car racing out of there. Then all was quiet. At the end of the day after we got together I ask what the hell was going on down there. It seems a red headed boy and his girl friend came walking in the woods with a blanket which they spread under little brothers stand and started making out. When the boy put his hand on the girls breast Dennis said “ I don’t think her father is going to like this”. It didn’t take long for them to leave.

I once had some type of bird slam into my face while on stand in the pre-dawn.Or,maybe I was sucker punched by a squirrel.  :confused:

No weird but cool.

Duck hunting last December, our blind had Bald Eagles all around it. They would wait for the ducks to come in and for us to shoot. Any wounded ducks that tried to get away were snapped up by the Eagles. Really cool to see, kinda bummed to lose the ducks though haha.

While hunting some farm land in Ohio a friend of mine was set up along a river bank near a corn field... The farmer told us that about eight years earlier there had been a grizzly murder there and that no one was ever arrested... As for me I took some nice bucks from that area but always had an eye on that tree.

Don't know if that is true or not, but I got a chill reading it. Nice story!

I had a lock on stand hung in a big oak on a creek bottom.Around dark i had a herd of does come under me and decided to shoot one(i was black powder hunting).When i shot i heard a hell of a commotion above me and looked up and noticed a big squirrels nest about 10 or 15 feet above me.I didn't think two much of it till i started getting my stuff ready to get down and noticed a big pile of nutty crap in my lap.I guess i literally scared the sh-t out of the squirrel that lived there.Little s-o-b.
