[QUOTE="BringBackThe80s, post: 5708268, member: 19834"] There's not much that I enjoy more than slipping into the woods with a bow and treestand 2 hours before sunrise and sneaking a mile+ through the forest in the dark, or backpacking in the mountains at night using only the moon for illumination. So I've had exciting experiences that most outdoorsmen have--things that make your heart beat faster but are not [U]really[/U] that spooky or creepy: [LIST] [*]Coyotes howling and yipping all around you as they work; [*]Grouse flushing from nearly under your feet in the dark and making your heart stop at the sudden thunder of wings; [*]Deer charging down the trail like they plan to run you over; and [*]Multiple barred owls slowly converging from far away, cackling and hooting the all the way, until your ridgetop sounds like a whole troop of insane monkeys or tree-dwelling hyenas have surrounded you. [/LIST] In the daytime alone in the mountains, I've run into a wild boar, which quickly fled, of course. Another day I got to watch a momma bear teach her two cubs how to find insects by shredding old logs like they were cardboard. Another time a great horned owl made a touch-and-go landing on my knit cap, apparently mistaking it for prey until I reacted to wings in my face. Again, cool and surprising, though not scary or spooky. [B][I]But 20+ years ago...[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
