OK, all you sissies of bowhunting.com... I have a treat for everyone. My 14 year old step son is into video games. He came across a game called Slender. I played it for a while with him and I have to say, its downright creepy. I want everyone here to download and install this game (its free believe it or not) and start playing it. Especially the night before you head out for a morning hunt!
Pretty much , but in this case he just happened to get there first. If you make a grammatical mis-step like that you can rest assured that you're going to get lit up by someone. :D
I get spooked about once a year and usually its the first day. When walking in complete silence during dark its easy to get startled by a loud crashing sound. Good thing I don't have any cats or bears where I live. I always think I see something when its dark but as soon as day comes I realize it is a stump or some other nonliving thing.
Bottom line, if you are gonna misplace your modifiers or dangle your participles .... I'm calling it.... :D
I got really concerned about my dangling participles when I realized I was standing in the water with that gator... I'll tell you that much!!!
Man, I laughed my butt off to a lot of these tonight. Especially with some that had the coons and squirrels climb on them . I've walked up on large hog in a really thick pine thicket one time. He immediately started growling and chomping his jaw. I had no pistol that morning so I quickly walked back the other way looking for any kind of big stick I could find haha. I wanted no part of that lol. I always carry a pistol with me when I go into the woods now.
Heard the creepiest sound I've ever heard before, turns out to be a couple of raccoons, probably didn't help that I watched the movie, Mama, the night before. Never knew they could make such a creepy noise. Another morning, I swear I heard a sasquatch howling in the woods, again, probably didn't help I was watching a squatch marathon. Not as creepy but browned my Haines, didn't know there was an owl about 15 yards from me until he let out a hoot before the sun came up. Thank you, hunter safety system.
The coolest/scariest sound I ever heard was on opening morning of Rifle season. It was about 30 mins before shooting light and I had just sat down under an old pine. I heard the pitter patter of feet to my right, I knew it wasn't a deer because it sounded to light. about a minute later an old coyote belts out his warning cry no father than 10 yards away. His howl was so deep I thought someone was poaching with hounds for a min. He huffed at me for about 45 seconds and then was off. Was a really cool experience
I usually turn off my light and listen for a while, then slowly finish getting ready in the dark. happened to me last year bear hunting. Sent from my SM-G920V using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Many years in spec ops made me pretty much fearless. Until my dad turned the bull out in the pasture I cut across to get in to the woods. This pasture had been empty for a long time. I heard something raising hell and making these deep gut noises and running towards me. Don't think I have ever covered so much ground and made it over a fence that fast in years!
