I've had coyotes come crashing in before and dealt with few snakes, but never wolves or bears ... omg  :z-guntootsmiley:

20 feet from me before it heard the camera clicking. I found the experience exhilarating.

Never seen a mountain lion, just tracks. Had black bears within 10 yards of me a few times and a bobcat at 10 feet one time. None knew I was there until they finally got close enough to either hear or smell something.

Had one growling at me while walking in to set up a trail cam. Couldn't see it. Had no weapons with me so I picked the nearest tree next to a deer trail and got the heck out of there.
Good plan.  I like being the top predator wherever I'm at. LOL
I rarely go into the woods without something. You never know the neighbors pit bull may be running loose, or stumble into someone's drug crop. Can't be too careful anymore. I remember once my dad and I were putting up a treestand that we pulled up there with a lawn mower. While we were setting it up a skunk came down the path and crawled under the mower deck. He stayed there for quite awhile before he left and luckily no shots were fired from either side lol.

I know of a guy that accidentally caught a bobcat, he brought it home to skin out and had the whole cat in the freezer, game wardens showed up a few days later, cat had a gps on it
