re: What is the creepiest thing you’ve experienced while in the woods?

Once I was making an evening hunt behind a cemetery.I was 20 feet up a pine tree on the edge of a clear cut,I could see the graves and headstones.Right at dark,something whacked me in the back of the head.I looked over at the cemetery and got a serious case of the creeps.Then I looked up and there was a Horned Owl about 10 feet up on a limb glaring at me.I guess his eyes hadn’t acclimated to the dark yet and he mistook me for a critter.

1. How dated were the headstones? That’s pretty damn creepy in and of itself. My mind would be playing tricks on me hunting there. Hell, it still does even though I don’t hunt by a cemetery. Hard to not feel like eyes aren’t on you when walking through woods.

2. The owl thing is kinda comical. Did he hoot or screech at you afterwards? I bet it hurt like a son of a bitch too!
