[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1879337, member: 4319"] One morning last year I saw an extraterrestrial being on the way to my stand. Or that's what a possum about 7' up a tree appears to be when you hit it with your green LED flashlight near the end of the rut when you're running on no sleep and junk food while putting in as many all-day sits as you can. Walking in the moonlight on a logged hillside scattered with stumps and a few hundred grey rocks - and one grey rock that jumps and squeals when you almost step on it. Fawking armadillos. After all these years I'm [I]almost[/I] used to jumping birds from grass or bushes. Almost used to coming face to face with a drowsy cow in the oddest places, too. I can't begin to remember all things I've ran into on walks in or out. I did a really funny dance over a fat rat snake one night after almost stepping on him (didn't know he was a rat snake until after the dance was complete). Had to yield to many a skunk. Had to prepare to do battle with a coon dead set on climbing my tree a few times. Last but not least, deer themselves have scared the ever-loving crap out of me a few times. Smart deer don't jump and run until you literally are about to step on them (actually smart deer bed where they can smell you before they see you, but wind plays hell on deer as much as it does hunters). I've seen deer explode out of places I didn't think could hide a deer. [/QUOTE]
