This past spring while turkey hunting I had a big sow and four cubs come through... I seen them at fifty yds thought if I did something the sow would get a little mad and could get bad ... So a few min later mother comes be hind the blind where there windows are closed she
Brushes up against me and starts smelling the blind where I got in ... Walks around the blind and sticks her head in ...our faces were mere inches apart ... I yelled get out of here and she runs off 30 yds and stands there popping her jaws before walking off.... I kept fairly calm until I was walking to my truck and it really sank in what just happened... A bear inches from my face

Last winter I was riding through my buddy's camp at night when I saw a little field mouse run right in front of my headlights, and just as I realized what it was an owl comes blasting through my driver's side window!  Shattered the window completely and was flapping around like a chicken with its head cut off inside the truck.  Had open the door and jump out to let him get out. Still finding glass shards in my truck

It was Nov.1, the day after Halloween, I was walking to my tree stand that morning and had to walk by a cemetery.  That was creepy enough but as I got by it I started to hear movement to my right on the other side of the tree line.  Everytime i walked it would walk, everytime I stopped it stopped.  Each time I shined my light that way I couldn't see anything.  It was that way for most of the way to my stand.  Finally at some point I said the heck with this and ran to my stand not caring if I made noise or not.  Figured I was safer up a tree than having to go back up to and through the cemetery.  To this day I don't know what it was but it had me shaking and my head was on a swivel.

Had a real similar encounter years ago with a bear that was raiding our camp.  Basically, I hear a noise one morning, ease up to look out the tent window and there was the biggest, blackest bear I had seen.  Hackles come up, bear growls real low, huffs and thanfully heads off into the woods.

20 yrs. ago...a true story.....

Came upon a old man in the mountains of western NC one time that appeared from the back of an old over-grown cemetery we were hunting near. He was wearing old yellow rain bibs and an old white thermal underwear top. He had a dog with him. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

He was carrying a shovel and an old railroad pry bar.
He was covered from head-to-toe in blood....so was the dog....and the shovel....and the bar...........

Was sit up on a gobbler once & a small sparrow lit on the end of my gun barrel.

  Was trout fishing one time & stepped down over a steep bank & a couple was doing the nasty along the creek bank.

Packing up from archery hunting with a portable treestand. It was dark and I was gathering my stuff together and a weasel came to check me out. Hung on the side of the tree I was hunting out of about 2 feet away from me. I don't know if it was my headlamp but his eye's glowed blood red. He followed me for a while but I was finally able to loose him.

I had to climb a very steep bluff one night to retrieve my coondog. I climbed up to a overhang to find out I couldnt go any farther. When I looked down I seen a toothe brush thinking a coon may have brought it there from the river. But as I looked around I found a pan, folded and unfolded socks, a blanket and a tarp. There was a recess there in the bluff under the overhang almost perfect size for some to sleep.

Years back i talked  my dad in going out one spring morning and we walked to the top of the mountain. As we was standing on the appalachian trail waitin for a bird to gobble we heard something below us and all of a sudden a hiker stands up to wipe his butt my dad looked at me and said lets get out of here!!!
