Just when you think you've seen or heard it all...

2 good ones.

1. I was in Virginia on public, bunch of birds and a bunch of hunters.  So I am standing on the crest of this ridge working my way up. All of a sudden I hear a big racket coming off the ridge fast. It was close enough when I heard it that it startled me, I reached for my gun which was on my shoulder. Lots of bear here, have had trouble with them in the past. So here comes this guy, young guy, maybe 20. Full camo, head to ankle, flies right by me, running. I looked down and he had the nicest white Nikes on you'd every see in the woods. I laughed, oh I laughed. I even made jokes in my head about it. Literal Run and Gun, but I hadn't heard any turkeys below me. Told this story many times in the last 15 years.

2. Had my company van parked at a nice wide spot along a dirt road. I am there 30 minutes early, had got out, used the outdoor rest room facilities. Got dressed, had my gun out leaning on my tire. So I jump back in the van and am setting there. Window down listening to the  whippoorwills. This spot is out on a big overlooking ridge, you can see way out the side of the mountain/road. So probably 3-4 miles away I see these head lights. Thinking to myself that there's is a lot of ground between the lights and me. The lights keep coming. Finally, I loose a visual on the lights as he goes into a hollow on the same ridge I am overlooking. 3-4 minutes here comes the lights up the road.
This dude rolls right up beside me, 5 feet away, 2 feet from my gun. Turns the interior light on, has his window rolled down, and tells one of his two buddies, "If your going to beat that guy in there you better get to going." I lost it! I said, " You boys are jackarses!" The driver says, "Its national forest, we can hunt wherever we want." I said, "Yes it is, and if a turkey gobbles in here I am going to it. Whether you are on it or not." The guy looks at me and says, " Thats no way to be." I reminded him that it was national forest, and that I too could hunt wherever I wanted.

Never heard a turkey that day in there and am mad now just thinking about it. Had a couple run ins with them guys that year in there and stopped hunting it all together for about 12 years or so.This happened close to 20 years ago.

Almost forgot, had a guy hold a gun on me in deer season one time. I did unknowingly cause the situation. But in No way did it warrant holding a gun on someone. Well I am mad and will save this story for another time.

Have you calmed down yet? I'd love to hear it! 

I always hate to have the feeling of not hunting a place because of bad experiences with people. Makes me feel like the jerks won.

My uncle once crapped his pants while deer hunting.  He took his soiled underwear off and chucked them.

Later in the day my cousin and i, who were on different hills both saw said fox. The fox had the underwear in his mouth.

We got back to camp and were surprised that we both saw the same thing.  My uncle felt the time had come to confess his accident.

Deer camp in MN. My brother comes back from mourning stand and informs us he crapped his pants. About 5 mins later I look out the window and see my dog running around with his shitty undies in her mouth giving them the death shake.

You can't possibly tell me any story that would surprise me about public land. One time I came back to my truck to discover someone had set up a camp all around it. I walked up and unlocked my truck and looked to see how I'd pull out and a guy comes out of the camper. He looked just like the guy they'd call "bear" in a motorcycle gang. He's like all friendly and asked if I was turkey hunting and I said yes. You kill a turkey? My old lady can cook some if you want. I replied, I didn't have a turkey. He says, sorry bout the camp dude, but we always camp here and just didn't want to go anywhere else (this is National forest, along a river). I'll move my truck so you can go. I said thanks and he yells into the trailer, hey sweety bring this guy some of that chicken alfredo. I'm like no you don't have to do that and he says, my older lady will be an upset bitch if you don't eat her food. So I reluctantly agree....man it was some of the best alfredo I ever eat. So we set and shoot the bull and I say I got to leave. He ask, you hunting in the morning? I said I had planned to and he says come early I'll have coffee and I ain't letting no one else park here. So I have breakfast and lunch the next two days with my gate keeper friends and no body else hunted that gate. I did give them a half turkey breast and she cooked it like they said they would.

Now that's a good one!
