[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5161196, member: 12599"] Not strange, but funny to me I guess. The thread about going to your stand in the dark reminded me of this. Back in High School, I had a few regular hunting buddies. One was absolutely terrified of the dark. I mean it was bad. On Opening Day of “Big Gun” as we called it, we headed out to our stands. We arrived at the place where we split up, and there was a huge Maple tree there. We said the obligatory “good luck”, and headed on out. This property was close to a huge hog farm, and those things would squeal and squall and make all kinds of racket. I joked about them sounding like Werewolves as we walked along in the full moon light. At about nine o’clock that morning ( because we didn’t have patience or good enough clothes to stay later ), I came back to our meeting spot at the big Maple. My friend wasn’t there, but I heard a rustle up in the tree. He’d climbed literally 40 feet up into that tree and sat on limbs all morning, holding his shotgun. Didn’t even try to go the 1/4 mile to his stand. Keep in mind this guy was 6’9” tall and weighed 300 pounds, and none of it fat. If by some slim chance he couldn’t have whooped anything that scared him, he could have just used his mass and size and ran over em getting away. It would have killed em. It probably took him 30 minutes to get down out of that tree, and me laughing so hard I couldn’t stand up. I didn’t joke with him about Werewolves during full moons after that. [/QUOTE]
