Mine are pretty tame compared to some here. Got chased up a tree by a boar once, after he dropped off a ridge looking for me.
Got stuck in my tree stand with the onset of hypothermia once, and almost just sat down on my stand platform and went to sleep after having difficulty working my hands and figuring how to descend the tree. It was way more serious than I thought at the time. Took a few days to get over.
Got lost at LBL in my late teens, hunting by myself in a light rain. No compass or gear other than my bow. Stayed lost from an hour after first light til an hour after dark. Finally stumbled onto the Trace and a gentleman was nice enough to give my drenched person a ride to my truck a few miles away.
I survived some stupidity on my part, and learned some valuable lessons.
