EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Was out sat night and a half grown diller runs out of the brush right under my feet and I jumped bad.  Scared the number two out of me.  Anything like that ever get yall

I have two OWLS and QUAIL.  Seems everytime I am trying to sneak around in the woods one of those two will fly out of a tree limb right by my head or when in west Texas a whole covey would flush right under my nose in the dark.  Both will make you have to take a break and check your pulse.

Myself! I hunt by myself quite often and spend alot of time over thinking things.

sasquatch scares the hell out of me... :o the lease i hunt has several old men that refuse to stay out there overnight they swear that they have seen one. I have been out there hog huntin and heard something roar/growl like i have never heard before in my life. I would love to know what it was. I hit the qbeam in the sounds direction and saw yellow eyes about 300 yard down the pipeline that were several feet off the ground but i couldnt tell how high for sure. the couple of 30.06 bullets i sent down there to check it out didnt find out what it was either??? I dont believe in sasquatch but what ever it was sounded bad O0

My wife having a bank card :o

ohh yeah that the best one yet

We were trackin the dogs one night and my partner split up he was going to the last place we heard the dogs, a long ways off. Didnt have the trackin box with us (it was still at the truck). And I  was going back to the truck to bring it as close as I could to where we heard the dogs. I was walkin with one dog with me and we heard somthing coming through the brush really fast right towards us. Well I hit my light just before the three dogs we were going to came bailing out of the brush right in front of me. I guess the dogs lost the trail and were headin back to the truck. Still scared the heck out of me. The brush was so thick I couldnt see five feet in front of me, then bam three dang yella dogs.

Yep!

Obama getting elected as President!!!

x2 on obama

I was deer hunting in Mason County on my Grandfathers lease when I was about 13 yyears old.  I was walking in the dark to my stand one early morning when a prarie chicken(grouse) ran straight up my leg and across my chest.  I didn't know what it was until I got the flashlight on.  Damn thing made me do a pretty wild dance.

Clowns.

Yeah if I saw clowns while hunting I would probally run the other way

Snakes.

Ya'll remember the post a few days back of the guy who put on a gorilla suit and walked by his buddies game camera?  It would be even better if he met his buddy at a bay one night!

a few weeks ago we were walkiing in ssome pretty thick cover.curtis was in front of me and fixin to step into a small drainage ditch.when all of the sudden a hen turkey came off her nest and took to the air right beside him.those wings realy pop loud.scared the crap outa me! :o

Monkeys. Filthy, dirty, poop flinging, hairy human-hand having, prehensile tailed, acting like retarded kids on meth monkeys.

 obama being elected a sec term! thats the scarest thing for this country and all of us hunters seeing that his goons in DC want to screw things up for the hunters

I was just about to give a turkey story, itll sure make you jump when you are walking through some thick woods at dusk and a turkey shoots straight up 2 feet from you, and you cant see what it is till it clears the brush.

Oh, i have a good one.
 Once the dogs ran through a canal onto some private property, we crossed the canal to go round them up, and I hear what sounds like a shotgun go off. The first thing going through my head is a pissed off land owner shooting our dogs. Well everyone runs towards the noise, so i follow, we end up finding the dogs on the edge of a small canal just kind of wandering around and getting a drink.
 I hear somone start calling dogs in a panic-y voice, I look down into the canal a couple feet from me and see the head of a well over 10' gator. I got a real good look, and I think ive seen enough of em to judge size pretty well from the head, and I figure he was all of 12'.
Still don't know what the gunshot sound was, I was thnking it was that big gator belly flopping into the water, or hs tail hitting water, but one of the other guys said it was that gator snapping his jaws when the dogs scared him into the water...

Big fuzzy spiders. They make me pucker all over. I'll play with a snake all day, but to hell with them spiders.

was huntin one night pretty far up in the mtns, tryin to catch up with the dogs, and got turned around on one of the hundreds of new loggin rds. It was pitch black dark, and i was about wore out too, so i just started walkin hoping to come out anywhere next to civilization so i could figure out what part of the county i was in. I was walkin with my head down lookin at the road, when i thought i had walked past what looked like corn in the road, so i stopped turned around and started walkin back in the direction to where i thought i saw some corn and BAM! out of no where from about three feet away in the pitch black of night comes the brightest light i have ever seen, "game camera". scared me so bad i just froze, didnt know whether to try to run, scream, fight, duck, jump. couldnt see anything for a few minutes. lol  bet whoever saw the pics got a good laugh out of it.

       I had a bobcat climb into a turkey blind with me and it will make you sound like a little girl and find somewhere new to get real fast.

When I was a bow-fishing I was walking along a creek and saw a small black snake tail going into a tire in the creek. I love killing snakes so I was running down the bank fast and putting a judo point arrow on the bow. I threw rock at the tire then stuck a stick all around inside the tire but no snake came out. I even jumped on the tire until the water turned all muddy. Finally I jumped up and down on the tire until I saw black in the water. The biggest water moccasin I have ever seen picked the same bank I did. I was eye to eye with a well over six foot snake only a few feet away. I knew I was well in striking distance. I figured I was going to get bit and there was no way I would let a snake bite me and get away. So I drew my bow and the snake shot off into the tall grass. I had to change my drawers. I never chase a snake I did not get a clear view of and only use a gun for snakes!

I was riden a colt one time that had only been rode a few times and a Buzzard came out of a old ground box stand!! I don't know who it scared worse me or the colt but I highly recommend it don't happen again!! That crap hurt!!

X2 on the monkeys, a few other things might startle me, but i'll straight murder a monkey if I ever saw one in the woods.

snakes. I dont like them. I will turn and run, no matter if I have a gun or not.

The most scared I have ever been was about five or so years back I was deer hunting in west texas it was one of those cold days but the sun was warm I was half asleep and an 6" tall barn owl flew into the stand with me we fought to a draw after a couple of minutes and i backed out of the tower blind and let him have it. Yes you guessed it I was the loser a 280lbs man got whooped by a 6" tall barn owl

I will push around spiders and catch every snake in the woods but......

I hate damn Bees and Wasps and for some reason they seem to feel the same way about me!


I will kick a Sasquatch in his jewels and run over his back to get away from a yellow jacket nest! ;D 

Big ugly women!!   ;D When I was younger I had a 300 lb woman walk up and put her arm around me and try to get me to go home with her.......said she wouldn't do anything to me I wouldn't like. I ducked and ran!!! Scared the H#ll out of me!! LOL

Machine73 you sure don't like monkeys do you? Seems a year or so ago you made a post about monkeys when I told that monkey story. I am not too keen on them either, they look too much like folks!

Lynel, I am with you too. I hate yellow jackets, wasps and bees. They too seem to hate me. One night hunting at the ranch we drove over a yellow jacket nest in the ground, the ground gave way and the truck got stuck. Yellow jackets flying around by the hundreds and stinging everything they ran into at night. We had the windows down in the truck, so we broke and ran.....then we realized we had dogs in the box! Someone had to go back and let the dogs out before they got stung to death.....bet you can guess who had to do that....I am STILL hurting from that it seems and it was years ago!

The sound a owl or any other bird of prey makes when they are trying to scare something is no joke. It will send tingles up your spine like nothing else will. Luckily my sister does wild animal rehab (tree hugger) but I went over and she had an owl in a dog carrier with something broke. But when you got near it would do a screeching hiss sound! But I learned that means they are scared if not they attack real quite. But it will scare the poop out of the biggest man!

Well that digger ran out and scared landon, i saw it coming, thought that was funny. then bout an hour later his phone went off and i bout gave me a hart attack, but one night me and some friends were in some thick stuff really piggy, and one of my best friends is scared of pigs i guess, cause one of my dogs ran out of the brush at him he screamed, pulled his knife and ran, it was great

Scared of no man or animal.... tell me I've got to give a speech in front of a thousand people and I turn into a quaking pile of jello.... rolleyes  ;D

... they asked me to do an interview for the local paper a few months ago...   let's just say I said no thankyou ;D 

It seems the longer I know about it before hand, the worse I get... put me on the spot though... and I can wing it with the best of 'em!!! ???

Rattlesnakes !

i have to agree with quail. when its pitch black and your walking to the deerstand the last thing i want is 10 or 15 birds flying up right under my nose. that makes my heart pound and i jump every single time

    Years ago while still in high school. And to tell my age fur was still bring good money. A buddy and myself were walking down a river bank shining eyes in the trees. We had walked a far bit and sat down on the bank to rest. Probably sat there 15 to 20 minutes in complete silence just listening to the night sound. My buddy went to get up and all of a sudden all hell broke loose. Sounded like someone standing on the bank firing a 410 shotgun into the water. We scrambled to some cover and just looked at each other. We could hear something moving in the water, so we moved very carefully to the edge of the river bank. Turn our lights on and shined at the water. First blasted beavers I ever saw in central Texas, some 30 years ago. They had heard my buddy move in the dark and slapped their tail against the water. Sure had a reality check. Took quite awhile to get back to breathing.

Lmao that one is good tusk a buddy of mine was putting out duck decoys and was out in the water and one slaped its tail right behind him said he did not go under but his wadders sure became wet and warm lol

Machine73 you sure don't like monkeys do you? Seems a year or so ago you made a post about monkeys when I told that monkey story. I am not too keen on them either, they look too much like folks!

Absolutely a correct statement. If my job were to stand in front of a chipper shredder and feed it live monkeys all day, I would be a very contented man.

    The buzzard one of cward I can relate to. One afternoon me and the wife left the barn on two colts. I will promise everyone had warned her there was a turkey hen sitting a nest under a bush one the side of the road. Well she decided to lope ahead on her colt. The turkey flew up in front of the colt since there's a high fence blocking its escape on the other side. Now picture this I have to ride up to her sitting in the middle of a dirt road holding the reins of this colt( that had just turned a 360 out from under her). And trying not to laugh ask if she was alright. Think it actually came out I TOLD YOU SO!!!

i grew up in the woods with all manner of beasts, broke colts and rode bulls in highschool, started making a living in the logwoods by myself cutting timber and dragging logs  with a pair of green 2 year olds when i was 16, been married to the same woman for 8 years, had 4 kids (3 could have easily died shortly after birth ) .

 been through a house building , the wifes breast cancer surgery , and now chemotherapy (in the last 7 months ) .

 not much scares me except the world that my kids are going into when they are older .

the good lord has always protected my family and my stupid self , (lots of times i've made it a big job for him ) and he always will .
