Walked in on a sounder of hogs one morning in the edge of a swamp headed to a ladder stand. Baby pigs a squealing, sows a grunting, several popping their teeth together. My little headlamp would catch the glow of an eye every now and then . Fastest I’ve ever climbed a ladder stand! Son in law called me on my cell phone a few minutes later and said : did you hear all those hogs ?

Can’t top all these. A few of you guys could survive Naked and afraid. Be careful out there.

Hunting out of some very old and unsafe homemade deer stands.

Opening weekend of gun season in Iowa. You could hear the bullets snap as they passed by.

On a dove shoot and watched a guy trying to get on a bird and the dove did the ol dip and dove and that fellas gun ended up pointed right at me and my wife. I grabbed her as I went to the ground hollering low bird. He shot twice. Got peppered real bad. Got up and commenced to cussing.

Bow hunting and having to walk where I had just heard the coyotes fire up.

Gotten turned around in the dark blood trailing deer couple times

Scariest thing in the woods is another hunter. When I was about 10-11 my brother got shot by another hunter on our land. I’ll tell that story one day. I’m not scared of anything in the woods, until we get mountain lions.

Went on a hunt at Oakmulgee back years ago. Went to the check in station that morning and it was packed. I just so happened to ask the wardens if they had ever had an accient there and he said never. I was used to hunting coosa and this was my first time there. 30 minutes later me and my friend parked, he headed up a logging road and I kind of quartered off through the woods. Maybe a hundred yeards in I heard a shot close so I just sat down, still in sight of the truck.

I saw my friend a few minutes later get back in the truck and leave, I thought what the hell. I didn't know what to do. A good bit later as I sat there he pulled back up with 2 wardens and they opened the gate and went down the old road. My friend had found a man shot in the road and I guess the shot I heard was it. He was gasping when he found him but dead when he returned with help. They took my friends gun and had it tested and we both had to go to the sherrifs office to be questioned. Last time I sat foot in a refuge to deer hunt. I never did find out what happened to him or who shot him.

Wow, that one takes the prize. You need enough orange to be visible from orbit when hunting public land. Plenty of unsafe idiots running around...

Fell in an old well when I was 13. I skipped school so no one knew where I was until I didn't get off the bus. It's a scary feeling standing pecker deep in water for 6 hours, my paw paw figured it out pretty quick though because he knew where I liked to hunt and that there was a well in the area.
Also had to shimmy down an oak tree 20 or so feet after a Baker treestand let go. man, I was skint up

I was helping drag a deer out for a Novice hunter on a hunt in Bankhead in the mid 90's. He was carrying a couple guns with slings and a lever gun in front of him. The lever gun fired and hit in the ground right behind the deer my friend and I were dragging. I unhooked my harness got my rifle and told him very impolitely to drag his own (*&)^ Deer.
Fell asleep once in Jackson Co and woke up with a light snow on me. By the time I tried to get off that Mountain I found myself hung up on top of a very slick bluff and couldnt climb back up. Had just enough rope to lower my pack and rifle. Dark was fast approaching and snow was getting heavy. My only option was to jump to a small tree and coon it down. Took forever to get the nerve but when I did the tree doubled over and I rode it to about 5 feet from the ground when the top snapped. Small bump and scrape on my head, but that shook me to the core. That situation gave me an awareness for safety that sticks with me till this day. The old men in camp were already trying to hike up the mountain to look for me by the time I made it off that night. Had to fire a couple signal shots to guide me off.


Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

Been lucky and not had anything major.

Had an owl swoop down at me when I was turkey hunting, sitting at the base of a tree. Bout shucks myself when he did that.

Some time in the late '80s, my pop was on a stump turkey hunting and calling when he caught something out of the corner of his eye moving toward him slowly. It was a bobcat. Pop had his shotgun in his lap and killed it in mid-air as it was jumping at him. When he brought that cat to the cabin, it was the first time I got to see a bobcat. He should have mounted it.

Got turned around in the swamp one night looking for a deer. I knew the direction I came in and how to get out, but my mind was playing tricks on me and was telling me I was lost. Had a Q-beam and got up on a fallen tree. Thankfully it caught the corner of a reflector on my truck.

Was walking down a logging road one evening and something got up just off the road. No clue what it was, but I knew it was big and heavy. It moved off slowly and acted like nothing I had ever heard in the woods. Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up on end. Glad I had a rifle in hand. Never saw whatever it was.

I saw a big cat with two cubs in Mathews in Montgomery County in the early 1990s plain as day with my own eyes, probably 75 yards away. Would pass a polygraph on that one if administered.

For those that know, power house lake in Leesburg has an old roadbed. We duck hunted off the levee side since the guy I hunted with's neighboor was a guard. He gave us permits to walk up/over the levee out the road bed. Well, the down stream side of the old pipe under the road was deep. Old D-cell flashlight can only give out so much light. I was not paying attention to where I was and BLOOSH i went in over my head. Shotgun, decoys and all. Had to take my gun off my shoulder and use it as some sort of pick to get my ass out. I came out of the water and Alex grabbed the barrel of the gun and helped pull me out. I was done for the day. Cold as hell too. Closest I have come from drowning from duck hunting.

I've had my waders flood before, and your legs get HEAVY. Makes it hard to walk, and you sink into the mud more.

Years ago I had one of the old Amacker face the tree climbing stands with steel bar back band. The bar fastened to the stand with bolts and wing nuts. I always put the bolt in from the bottom side with nut on top so it would provide a slight bit of a rifle rest when aiming.
Before daylight one morning I climbed a very tall pine overlooking a cutover. After being in stand several hours I looked down and noticed I had not put the wing nut on the bolt. I have no idea how the bolt didn’t fall out while climbing other than the Lord was looking after me. There is no reason it should have stayed in.
This is probably the most dangerous situation I recall being in.

This was my 911 call when I put what I thought was a dead deer in my car to take home. Pretty scary for me!

There's no more worse feeling than being shot at while in the woods.
