What's the coolest, weirdest,craziest thing youve seen or heard about while hunting?

I was checking out some new ground for mulies way up at the end of this old logging area called the Little Elk and came across a very beautiful, very naked woman that was sunning herself on this little bluff out in the middle of bfnwr. She said she was trying to get as much vitamin D as she could , some kind of regimen recomended by her doctor. She sure wasn't shy and wow did we make some noise way up there in the mountains!!!! I should have figured something was up from where I parked the truck because there was a Subaru Forester with red and white training plates parked there as well. So along with all the vitamin D, she also got a bunch of vitamin C to go with it! C as in the first letter of my name, for all you pervs out there. Thank Christ this happened before I married my wife, because she is not "the outdoorsy" type!!
 
While hunting small game in Saskatchewan myself and my two hunting buddies discovered a fairly large raccoon fast asleep on a south facing slope amongst some dense wild rose bushes right up against a barbed wire fence. The other fellow had a 12 gauge with 3 1/2 inch shells and wanted me to shoot it with my .22 Winchester rimfire rifle. I stood right over it and put the muzzle mere inches from the back of it's neck. My friend made a coonskin cap from that raccoon that had to weigh about thirty pounds. The third guy without a gun carried that dead beast for at least another two hours. This is one of the few years I actually held a trapper's licence in Saskatchewan.
 
On watch with my uncle, centre of a half acre grown piece of pasture before I was old enough to carry a rifle, I witnessed him shoot 7 deer that came out to him(chased by dogs) all at once with 9 shots fired from his model-1907 Winchester @ 70yds....This is still talked about by my family...I said right there, someday I'm gonna shoot like Uncle Allan...Still workin on that!

Last summer I was camping/hiking in Riding mountain national park with my wife and a buddy. On the first day in while hiking the temperature hit 49C with the humidex. Hottest day of the year. So about two in the afternoon we were just beat. Sweating to death in the heat. Wife and I were laying in the shade off the trail catching a few winks while my buddy was off taking care of some buisness in the woods. Big bull moose came busting down the trail right past us. Wife saw him go but I totally missed it. However I could reach out and touch the tracks without moving. Wish I would have seen it.

Quite a few years ago when I was working on the pielines up by Grand Prairie we had a cougar run in. We were rock guarding some pipe and ended up a few miles from the truck by lunch time. One guy volunteered to jog back and get the truck with our lunches. He takes off and all of a sudden a cougar comes out of the bush and starts following him. We're shouting at him to get his attention. Long story short he walked backwards for almost three miles with a cougar following him about 50 yards away and then 4 of us following the cougar. Cat was not scared at all. CO's ended up trapping it later that week as it had absolutely no fear of people and that wasn't the last incident with that cat.

Think I read that one in Penthouse Letters....
 
Drove past a duck hunter and his significant other making out in a layout blind by Grant's Lake Wildlife Refuge. She was on top. Slow morning for birds.

Spotted what I thought a first was a small bear scampering thru the bush parallel to me when I was spot and stalking. Turned out to be a big wolverine. Spooked me a bit as it was muzzleloader season.

I was walking down a back road hunting grouse when I heard a rustle in the tall grass a few yards ahead. I readied myself for a flushing ruffy.
A few steps later there was an explosion of grass and leaves! Up went 2HUGE birds! I was completely bewildered!
It landed 15 feet in the trees above me.
Can anyome guess what it was?



This NOOO B.S!! Seriously!......................



A Male Peacock and i think the other was a female!

What the heck are they doing here I thought?

Weirdest thing I ever saw!!! I wonder who would have put them out there?

As domestic birds go, Peafowl are some of the least loyal, most prone to move in at the neighbors or elsewhere, birds you could have around. Chances are, someone had them and they bailed out.

They do raise a ruckus when they start to holler, though. They might not have been missed when they left! :D

was hunting cow elk near fort a la corne one year and dad was perched beside a round bale. It started snowing real hard and visibility was near zero. A few minutes before legal light ended a pack of wolves came within 50 yards of him, some were very close to him. They came and went without making a sound and they didn't even know he was there.

I've got very close to big bedded mule deer bucks that either didn't know I was there or didn't really care. That or they thought they were very well hidden. I got very close to this one that watched me for quite a while. I thought he must be injured but when I got within about 7 yards he jumped up and effed off.

While spring bear hunting on a tributary to the Peace River, I watched a mule deer walk ¾’s of a mile all the way down from the top of the ridge to the middle of the creek, stand there and take a leak, then turn around and walk all the way back up to the top where he came from.
It was a buck, he was close enough I could easily see his antler pedicles. I’ve wondered for years what that was all about.
 
While unloading firewood around dusk at our moose camp in N.Alberta an incredibly bright green flash illuminated the overcast sky for several seconds. Found out later that we saw the Buzzard Coulee meteorite. Nov / 2008.

Very cool. Although at the time, given our remote location (nothing around for many miles) we momentarily thought the world might be ending.
 
I was deer hunting 2 years ago, not seeing a thing (as per usual lol) was watching a rabbit hop across the field through the scope on my crossbow when all of a sudden WHAM. A Redtail Hawk smoked the rabbit while i was looking through the scope. By far the coolest thing I have ever seen. Even made me go out and get my Falconry License
 
Weirdest thing I came across about 45 years ago: I was out hunting in the Pipestone Valley, just south and a bit east of Grenfell, SK. I could hear an awful racket somewhere ahead. I can best describe the sounds as what a duck being tortured would sound like. It turned out to be two porcupines up in the willows, about 8' off the ground. I presumed they were getting ready to make whoopee. Never heard anything like it since.
 
I never had much interest in grunts or odors while hunting.
One day I bought a bottle of deer pizz.
Rubbed the bottom of the soles of my hunting boots.
One afternoon, up around Surrey Lake I wandered into
an old logging landing.
Off to the side were four does.
One and the biggest snorted out her nose.
She was pizzed. I stepped up on a stump and she
stared straight at me. I almost figured she was looking
beyond me. I turned and nothing there. She snorted,
walked a few steps toward me and snorted more.
She then jumped up and stamped all her four corners.
Did this a couple more times all the while snorting.
Funniest chit I ever saw. No fear in her.
Only thing I could figure is maybe she figured I was
going to mount her?
I don't think we were fifty yards apart.
 
I forgot about this one. But early into the season I was just starting grouse hunting and I got two really easily on the second opening day. Funny thing was this muskrat always at the foot of a sign along a gravel road. The third time on another day I actually remembered my camera. Pulled over and stopped the truck out of possible traffic, got the camera out,muskrat still there, and walked in front of the parked truck for a photo opportunity. Now Mr. Muskrat even stood up on his hind legs in a camera shutter inspired pose. That was very kind of him I must say.
I momentarily looked down to turn on the camera and viola! Mr Muskrat had disappeared, absolutely gone and the bush was about 15 feet away!
That was one fast moving critter!! :)
