I have nothing better to do than have someone scare the $%^& out of me before I crawl into a stand come opening morning, so lets hear them. Has anyone on here actually seen something they could not explain in the woods? I have and still to this day have no clue what I saw...bright moon lite morning hour before daylight; came right under my stand and stopped looked up and starred at me. Four legged, not a yote or dog...all I know is that it was bigger and made some awful grown/moan, not sure what it was but I still hunt the stand cause I see deer everytime. What ya say boys....

Looked about the size of a calf...but definitly was no cow. Like I said I have no clue, just know I froze and waited. It was bow season so that made it worse.

A little over an hour before first light, I was settling into a stand in North Mississippi this past Fall. I had just turned off my headlamp when I heard something coming through the Bamboo. I assumed it was a deer coming to bed down, but as it got closer, I realized it was making too much noise to be a deer. It was a moonless night and I couldn't see anything, but something came right under my stand, forced its way through a old, dilapidated fence line and stopped about 10 yards in front of my tree. My first thought was a hog, but I have never seen one in that area nor have I ever seen any sign at all. It stood there, breathing heavily and then moved away making quite a bit of noise.

Not sure what it was, but I was glad to be 30 feet up a tree. -didn't see a single deer that day.

Best story I ever heard didn't happen to me but I'll tell the story anyway. In Dallas County AL, a group of hunters began seeing/hearing something they were certain was 2 legged and it made a deep-throated grunting sound. Several guys had talked about it at camp over the period of a few weeks saying it stood at least 4.5 feet tall and was dark in color.

Anyway late one evening it walked directly under one guys stand and is scared him so bad he wouldn't come down. After a couple of hours his buddies came looking for him and it followed them out of the woods even speeding up and grunting when they began to run. Needless to say they were still freeking scared when they got back to camp. They only told a few people until nearly the same thing it happened to someone else a few days later. However, this time when the search party went to get their friend who was too scared to get down out of the tree they were in for a big surprise. When they got out of their vehicle and called for their buddy something non-human came running grunting and raising cane the whole way. An Emu stepped out of a logging trail about 25 yards away. It had escaped from a local farm and had become accustomed to following people like cows do at feeding time.

...for the record I don't believe there are any big animals(black panthers, cougars, chupacabra, bigfoot etc...) that aren't well documented. Too many game cams and guns to not have a well documented set of pictures or kill...even roadkill.

I once saw something at Dutch Settlement that I couldn't explain. 'Nuf said about that.

About 30 years ago fellow invited me to bow hunt with him somewhere around Cookville. I left home about 2am and met him in Cookville about 4 eastern time. The first place we went wouldn't allow us to hunt that day so he took me to some public land in that area. I had only brought a dove stool because I didn't know if there would be anywhere to hang a stand.

The place we went had a big field that was grown up in cedars. I found a spot, set my stool up,turned out my light and put it in the bag on the stool.

I had only been sitting there about 15 min. (it was still dark) when something big and harry put it's head between my arm and my body!!

I was afraid to move! I finally worked my other hand into the bag and found my light. When i finally got the light on i found a big ol' coon dog!!! I was relieved to say the least. Didn't see a deer all day.

I do have a true story that happened in the Teton Mountains in WY but hands are in too bad shape this morning to type it. I typed this with one finger and about killed me to do that.

Shepp Bottoms in Haywood County, 1974.

I walked across a field and got set up in a treestand about 20 feet off the ground in a huge oak tree. There was still an hour of darkness left.

About half hour later, something walked past me making enough noise to be a cow or horse, but it's image in the dark was more vertical and not that of a four legged animal. It sounded like it was breathing really hard with every step. It walked off and that was that. It may have been another hunter, a very clumsy one, I guess. Later, i got down and looked for tracks, but could not find any.

I hunted there a couple of years and never saw or heard anything like that again.

I told only a couple of people about this, they told me that they would keep it to themselves....

I guess they did.

I've heard bobcats scream so close to me that it shook me to the core. I've heard things in the trees above me and in the leaves below me that I have no idea what it was. I've never been afraid of the woods and still are not today.

I will say that I do believe in things out there that do everything possible to avoid man and in certain areas, that is not that hard to do.

I don't claim to know everything that's out there. In all my years of roaming the Bottoms, I did not see a river otter until ten years ago, I have only seen one mink in all my days and I've only seen flying squirrels on two occasions. To me, that means that even animals that live here are hard to see sometimes, much less an animal that is very rare for this area...

Me and two friends were hiking around Mount Baker Washington when I was around 16. We were going camping on a trout stream up there. I never saw anything, but I can tell you I hit a certain stretch of that river and I KNOW there was someting watching me, I just know it! I had goosebumps the size of watermelons! I came back down the river and met my friends. I never said a word about it to them but I will never forget that feeling! Only time all my life I was truly scared in the woods.

Well, it wasn't hunting, but I was fishing. I was standing in Harrington Creek in Shelby County trying to undo a backlash in my open-faced reel. It was in that gray-area after the sun goes down, but not quite pitch-black yet.
I'm standing in the middle of the creek up to my waist picking at this backlash when something big and dark and furry rubs on my right side for like 2 seconds.
I screamed like a little girl and walked on the water to get to the bank.
Turns out it was a beaver and he was just as shocked to see me as I was to see him. He was out in the creek beating the water with his tail.
Scared the snot out of both of us!

1990 Lake City Arkansas 10 PM. I was deer hunting close to 2 miles deep in a swamp and a group of us were driving out on 4 wheelers. We come around a curve and I see something standing 10 yards off the trail it seemed to be trying to silhouette like a tree. I was the last of 4 ATVs and immediatly went for my knife. As we drove by he stood there motionless. We got a few hundred yards up the trail and I flashed my lights and we all stop, before I could say a word one of the other guys said did you see that guy with a beard standing back there he must have been close to 7 feet tall he was so scared he was shaking and so was I.

I still to this day am not not sure what it was but I cant help but wonder what was a 7 ft tall man doing 2 miles back in the swamp 10 pm, no light and no transportation?

You would be surprised where and when people will show up!
I was hunting some of the old Bowater land in Morgan county many years ago, a good walk from any road. We sat in our stands in the pouring rain until pitch dark, and met up after dark to walk out. It continued to rain most all night, and in the rain again the next morning before daylight we were back to climb our stands. Only problem was my buddies was gone! This was a loc on, left 25 ft in a tree, with the steps removed, after dark the night before, in the pouring rain!! \:o I still wonder how, when, why, anybody came upon and stole that stand. I actually think about this pretty often to this day.

That's crazy! I was scouting in a swamp with a buddy when we came across 4 human foot prints (barefoot). Looked to be the footprints of a child. Thing was, there were only 4 of them, no reason for them to have been there and no way that I can explain that they could come to be on 4 of them since the mud was the same all around us.

Not the same story, never told this story. But you can post the one youhave. My hands are still killing me. The one you have, as I have said many times, is fiction. The one in the tetons is not.

Deer Whisperer- I believe this is the one you have.

Of late there has been a great deal of speculation about Bigfoot-Sasquash-Yetti or whatever. Every few years the speculation and debate heats up. It has been going on a long time. The following is a story I wrote many years ago for an adventure magazine. I made no claims as to its’ veracity, just ran it. It produced calls from some folks at the Bigfoot Institute or some such place, wanting to interview me. I thought I’d run it here.
After all, everybody loves a good story.

This just in. This story was just picked up and run on something called Bigfoot Encounters web site. They used the fair use doctrine to avoid paying me despite the fact I own the copyright. I think it is time I had a little fun with these people. Watch for continuing episodes. Big smile and wink, here.



I make no observations regarding the following. It was as I have written it.

August 23, 1962, I had been out on my own for six months, living by competing at rodeos. I was just 18. I had just finished a rodeo in Washington State and had a couple hundred in my pocket. Three fellow hands asked me to go with them on a canoe trip in BC to get their winter meat. They were all B.C.natives.

They were Jim Palmantier, “Kid” Chatlain and Earl Condon. Jim and Kid were sons of French trappers and native mothers. Earl was a full-blood native. They had lots of equipment and knew the area to the north and east of Riske Creek. We would launch the freighter canoes, 20 ft long with 7.5 Evinrude kickers at a place near Horsely, east of Williams Lake and go north and east from there up a string of lakes and rivers.

We took two canoes with 35 gallons of spare gas, spare prop and 100 shear pins. We had a tent in each canoe, a rifle and shotgun, two fishing rods, one tackle box, bed rolls and grub box. We traveled light because we knew there would be portages and since they were all Natives, could shoot anything as we went. We had 20 pounds flour, salt, pepper, tea, lard, pemmican, and tobacco to give to natives we encountered. My friends were from 20-23 years old. I was the baby.

The first two days were uneventful. We made good time and moved steadily up a series of lakes and creeks. The first night we camped at an abandoned mine of some sort and dined on fresh fish and rice and beans. Day two the streams got narrower and swifter and we had two portages. Still we made nearly 50 miles.

In our canoe, Jim Palmantier and I, we had Savage, model 110 30.06 and my 12 gauge, Model 12 pump. Ducks and geese were everywhere and we had those for dinner the second night, fixed with some French name I can’t recall. You pick them, rub them with lard and season them. A green branch is bent in a U and inserted in the cavity and they are suspended over the coals. Best duck I ever ate.

On day three, Kid and Earl in the lead canoe, rounded a bend and shot a young moose of about 600 pounds. We spent four hours dressing and boning caching the meat on an elevated platform. It froze every night. We were at the base of a small lake and as we were working, three canoes with natives came down the lake at full speed. Kid waved them in. There were four adult males and two maybe teenagers and three adult women and one girl of about 10. I assumed they were an extended family. We gave them about 100 pounds of meat and some flour and tea and tobacco. They spoke no English, at least not in front of me and I understood not one word except twice when one of the women said “sasquash” and laughed twice. At the time, I assumed she was making a joke for me.

They left after smoking with us and giving us three big whitefish and some pemmican. We took maybe 20 pounds of prime meat, caching the rest under a tarp and some bark. The platform was standard cache for that area, about 12 feet off the ground.
We went on, still heading north and east.

We left the small lake and went through a chute into another lake and then east into a smaller river. This stream was maybe 40-60 feet wide and medium swift. About seven we started looking for a campsite and found one on the north bank in a bend of the river. The right bank was covered with boulders, rounded by glaciations and current but the left bank was clear with a flat area under some trees. We were all tried and hit the sack before full dark. It doesn’t get dark there until tomorrow.

Sometime, maybe 2 or 3 in the morning, Jim and I were awakened by a loud crash in the campsite. Thinking bear, we grabbed our guns and kicked back the tent flap. Nothing. Jim had a flashlight and he turned it on, Earl and Kid were now out of their tent and armed. A boulder about the size and shape of a bowling ball had destroyed our Dutch oven and part of the cook box.

We stood around trying to sort things out when a second boulder hit Kid and Earl’s tent dead center. It came straight down through the trees. I was standing there, open mouth when both Kid and Jim grabbed me and Earl and drug us deeper into the trees. Naturally there was a lot of discussion but I won’t relate the tenor of that. We spent the rest of the short night in a circle, back to back, safeties off. From time to time we would hear more rocks hit and once, just once, some sort of strange hooting from the other side of the river.

After good sunup we slowly crept back to camp. One tent was toast as were the cook box and most of the cooking equipment. I counted nine rocks ranging in size from bowling ball to beach ball size. The largest weighted maybe 150-200 pounds. Fortunately the canoes were undamaged and we quickly pulled camp and started out. We got the to the meat cache that morning and it was gone. Not destroyed, gone. Totally, 100% gone. No logs, no rope, no meat. No carcass. I have no opinion. We ran wide open going out and “camped” that night in the canoes in the middle of a lake.

Jim and Kid are now dead, killed in a floatplane crash some years ago. Earl, I don’t know about. I am certain of only five things regarding that trip:

1-Those rocks were not on the bank where we pitched camp when we pitched camp.
2-They were not carried into our camp, they were thrown.
3-No human being did it.
4-I have no desire to ever again go into that country.
5-I am not a believer or a skeptic. But I don’t exactly discount much if which I don’t understand.

Regarding scientific evidence: It is just in recent times we have learned that Caucasoids lived in North America as long as 12,000 years ago. If our ancestors had not lived in villages with middens, had they roamed in groups of two or three, we might still not know about Clovis Woman or many of them.

Try and throw a 150-pound boulder across a 50-foot stream. I saw it done. I don’t know what did it.That’s all I have to say about it.

Gene Jordan, Jay Mader and I were elk hunting in the Tetons outside Dubois, WY. It was 1968. We had three riding horses and two pack horses and were back in quite a ways. Gene was from the area and was sorta “guiding” us. In other words, we had no idea where we were. I suspect we were on Indian land.

The third night, we had one small bull boned out and packed and made camp near a small spring. It was a flat piece of ground and a perfect campsite. Just before dark it started snowing lightly and we took extra care to both hobble and tie the horses to a picket line. We had a snug camp and a good fire with great tenderloins for supper.

Sometime after midnight, Jay got up to take care of some business and he put a couple more logs on the fire. A little later the horses started raising a ruckus and we all woke up. I got up and checked and horses were fine. I lay back down and we all just lay there, awake but not really wide awake.

Jay said, “Something is out there. What is that?” he pointed out past the fire.

I looked but couldn’t see anything and about that time, Gene sat up and grabbed his rifle and said, “Is that a bear? Jesus that is a huge bear. Is that a bear? Something aint right.”

I then saw what he was talking about. At first I thought it was a pine tree, one of the short ones about six or eight feet high and bushy. Then it turned and with a loud snap or crash or something, vanished. The horses went berserk and we all had to get up and tend to them with our rifles in one hand and eyes going everywhere. We didn’t sleep anymore that night.

It snowed a little more that night and in the morning we could find no tracks but we did find one pine, about four inches in diameter, broken completely off a couple feet up. I mean snapped like a dry twig. Try that sometime. The only things we all agreed on was that it was walking upright and it was not a bear.

Whenever we get together which is not often, once every 20 years or so we still talk about that night.

I have never seen anything,but a good friend saw something he will only describe as a "booger" walking thru the woods at the Big Sandy area of Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge a few years ago. It shook him up so badly that he demanded that I take him home right then. He said he would never go back there again. In fact he no longer deer hunts at all. He told me later that I was crazy for walking into the woods in the dark. When I try to get him to talk about it, he refuses. When I asked why he did not shoot it, he only replied that he was not sure he had enough gun.
I have known this guy for 40 years and never known him to tell a lie.

Years ago I was in a stand hunting The Big South Fork in an area with a bluff behind me. Before dawn it began to pour with thunder and lightening getting very intense. I was standing as close to the tree as I could get as each lightening flash lit up the woods. For some reason I turned around facing the bluff just as a flash lit up,silhouetting two figures on the ridge above me. Darkness followed and they were gone. It was like something out of a Friday the 13th movie. A few nervous moments later my hunting buddies show up headed to the truck....it was them headed out. One spooky moment.
