I think its been awhile since we have had a thread like this but what is the strangest thing you have seen or happened to you in the woods? For me it was a weird physical phenomena that occurred while I was hunting. I had placed a small ol-man climber in a medium height tree at the confluence of two creeks. I could only climb about 8-10 feet but I had good back cover and the tree was in full foliage. So I had been sitting in the tree about an hour and all the sudden I felt 3 0r 4 20 -30 second super quick vibration. The vibrations were supper fast frequency and they were coming from the tree. I thought I had climbed over a bee hive....then the leaves started falling. Every dang leaf on that entire tree was cast off. Tens of thousands of leaves all fell at once. I have never seen anything like that again in the woods...how about yall? Confluence = Well educated Every dang leaf on that entire tree was cast off = You smoke crack

One of the funniest things I believe I have seen:
Was bowhunting about 10-years ago and after the sun went down, I climbed down and began easing my way towards my friend who was about 150-200 yards away. As I got closer, I heard a couple of deer take off running - and my friend starts cussing (loudly). My immediate thought was that I had spooked the deer that he was about to shoot and he was cussing about me scaring the deer off.
As I approach his tree - I notice 5 or 6 arrows stuck in the ground directly under his stand. As it turned out - when he would nock an arrow and lean over to shoot (apparently the deer was directly beneath him eating acorns) - the nock would release from the serving and the arrow would fall to the ground. The final straw was - the doe had raised her head and was was looking my way, when the final arrow released and fell beside her scaring her off.

had a hawk nearly take my face off.
I was sitting in a ladder stand on the edge of a large pasture. I'd been watching a hawk circling across the pasture. He kept landing in a tree about 300-400 yds away, and then flying back down to hunt some shoulder-high grass.
well after a while, I watched him fly out of the tree, coming toward me. I thought, hey this is cool, he's coming this way
about 200 yds out (halfway-ish), I think "hmm, wonder what he's after"
about 50 yds out, he's now over the short (ankle-high) green field planted in the corner of the pasture, I think "man, he's about to fly up in my tree!"
he get's about 15ft out and I think "Holy crap, he's about to land on this limb! [coming off the tree just over my head].
Now, up until this point, I'd not moved an inch b/c I wanted to see what he was up to. he'd come all the way across this field never once flapping a wing, but he was moving quick.
at this point, he was probably less than 5ft from my face, so I duck down in my seat as fast as I can. He freaked out when he realized I was there and started back-peddling and flapping his wings like crazy and flew up over my head. Close enough I could feel the wind coming off his wings.
All I can figure is maybe from across the field I moved my head slightly and he thought it was a squirrel on the side of the tree or something and was coming after it.

Climbed a ladder stand one frosty morning with gloves on. Pulled up my rifle that just had had a trigger job to lighten it. Not thinking, I rested the butt of the gun on my crotch and quietly bolted a round with my gloved hand with my pinky extended. My pinky brushed the trigger, and believe you me, I caught the full recoil right in the 'ol unit.

I have never seen anything like that again in the woods...how about yall? I had a similar thing happen to me in Clarke Co. a few years ago. I was sitting in my climber 30 feet up when the whole tree started shaking. I looked down thinking a bear or something was coming up the tree. Later that night the news reported a small earthquake in my area. Could be what you experienced.

I have a mature creek bottom with huge oak timber I hunt near the house. It has a creek running through it that Cuts into an Indian Mound. I have trouble keeping folks from digging in the mound every year. Last winter I was hunting the split in the creek and noticed something slinging dirt about 100 yards away. I eased down and snuck up to see what was going on and a crackhead had dug a hole over 6 foot deep trying to uncover the graves. I was seeing him sling dirt from the hole with his shovel..
I knew the boy and he is truly a sad case of what dope can do to a person so I just ran him off with him knowing if he ever sat foot in the bottom again he was mine. About two months after this happened he was arrested for manufacturing meth n his home with children present. I just could not tell what in the world was throwing dirt from the hole. I really thought it might have been armadillos.

So are yall inferring that drug use affects my grammar or that a tree doesn't vibrate and then drop leaves? I watched the leaves vibrating back and forth and then all drop off. I looked liked a sky lit Idot after they all fell.

I was scouting/stalk hunting down a creek during December two years ago in hopes of finding a good crossing. This creek was about three lanes wide and had a lot of small sandbars. I walked out onto one sandbar to look at the deer tracks and noticed what I thought was a boot print. I thought well crap somebody else has the same idea I do (this was on public land), but after giving this thing a second look I can make out the first three toes of the print as well as a slight arch. My mind then went into what is somebody doing out here in thirty degree weather walking barefoot in a creek. I look further out on the sandbar and see the opposite footprint as well as a third footprint before it goes into thigh deep water. So not only is this person barefoot, but they must have got in the water. At this point I'm real confused, so I try to get a size one these things. To match the stride, I had to hop off one foot to reach the next footprint and the print itself was about the same size as my rubber boot which was roughly 14 inches by about 5.5 inches. On top of that, I could not get the same depth into the sand as these prints even if i jumped and pushed down hard upon landing. So this was a big, heavy barefooted man walking across a creek in thirty degree weather during deer season. I decided I didn't like this spot too much and walked back to the truck.
It is easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled.
