I waited till dark hoping would get a glimpse of whatever it was. Never did and right as I was bout to get up I heard the strangest sound I'd ever heard. It made me think of those evil flying monkeys on the wizard of oz. This evil beast made a few more of hellish sounds. I stayed still for about an hour till I heard my friend calling me and then I ran. He laughed his you know what off when I described this awful sound to him. You might have guessed by now it was a deer blowing. For somebody that didn't know a deer could make that sound, it's pretty creepy. Heard it a couple of times since and it still kinda freaks me out. Guess that's why I love shooting them.


Same thing happen with my wife during her first deer season. I had her set up just inside the woods on the edge of a peanut field. I decided to get down before dark and start easing her direction since I knew she wasn't too comfortable being in the woods after dark. Well, as I get within 100 yards, I hear something trotting around in the woods right where I left her, so I stop and then hear deer blowing. I decide to ease behind a big oak and take a knee hoping to hear her shoot...well 15 minutes later and I've heard no shooting but am still hearing lots of blowing...so I ease in closer and whistle (which scares the deer off). My wife hollars out, "Come get me! There is something in here trying to eat me!!" I died laughing.
