Anyone see or hear anything this season?
funny you ask that, i swear i was near one this august!
was camping in a tents with a friend at ram falls near cadomin, planned for the week was shooting our new rifles and drinking beer at night. well after my buddy passed out and i finished cleaning out the last on the corrosive crap outa my cz 858 i went to put it away in the car when i found it was locked. keys in his damn pocket! no friggin way im reaching in there, so i trigger locked and tossed the rifle with me in the tent along with the 7 or 8 rounds my buddy forgot on the table (and i was pissed off cause it is damp from all the rain in there). turned off the lantern and went to sleep, was woken up around 3:30-4:00 when i heard somthing scream twice, and ive done alot of camping in that area and nothing amounts to a scream like this! then it friggin ran from the campsite across from us across the road past my tent and then suddenly stopped and there was only 2 footsteps, they were heavy and it did not take many steps to complete its run that far! i would say 150 feet, then i smelled #### and i will admit later i had to check myself just to be sure it wasnt me.( it wasnt)
i never in my life was more happy about about letting my brand new toy (cz858) lay on the floor of a wet tent waiting for rust. talk about reaching for it real quick! loaded a mag dropped the lock and kept the pair ready if needed
(no you safety nuts i did not put nothing in the chamber or the mag in the rifle, but the bolt was open all i had to to was pop it in and slap the handle, my buddy was out in his tent somwere and there was another camper with a older couple near us ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN) i listened and didnt move or take my hands of the mag or rifle untill the sun came up! i did not sleep at all after that. i have camped out in a tent my whole life since our whole family vacation was camping in the middle of nowere for the last 22 years and ive had wolves, bears and what ever else that can walk around grunt and sniff, come into the campsite at night inchs away while in a tent and still get a good night sleep. i didnt know what i heard untill my old man told me when i got home to check it out and i checked it out on the net and turns out im not the only one with that encounter in that same area. i found out its happened at least 3 times to others.
and one more thing, i will not returning to that area unless im armed to the nuts like Bert in tremors.

i am litterley so freaked out by it i dont know if i will even go camping next year.
believe what you want or even call me crazy, i never believed in it or any other "myths" for that matter, until last august i now belive too
