What's the funniest thing you saw or did on a hunting trip?

Question

Funniest Story Wins....

Answer 1

I took my 12 year old out on his first deer hunt this past September up in Northern WI. We used my dads blind out in the timber because it was the perfect place for the boy on his first hunt. He still fidgeted around, craned his neck to watch squirrels and partridge, swatted at bugs, coughed a little, etc, even after all the lecturing I did. I figured the blind would help cover up those deer hunting no-no's.

We sat the first day with no results, but the evening of the 2nd day we had a doe and two fawns come in close to our spot to investigate the acorns on the ground. While he was getting ready for a shot on the doe, the fawns kept getting in the way and he was getting frustrated. With the help of the blind, he was able to raise/lower/raise/lower his gun when the shot opportunity went away.

I'm very glad that we were in the blind, because of what happened that day. One of the fawns wandered closer to the blind, turned around, lifted tail and FARTED. I've never seen OR heard anything like that in my 25 years of hunting and I laughed so damn hard it hurt. I had to bury my face into the back of the boys coat to keep from making too much noise, but I lost it. He kept whispering at me, SHUT UP DAD! SHUT UP!!

Well, eventually he did get a shot at the doe, and he zapped her exactly where he was taught, right through the vitals. I was so proud of him and he was very proud of himself. He wasn't too keen on the gutting part, but he got right down there and got his hands dirty. It was a great day, the boy got his first deer and I witnessed something brand new on a hunting trip. :)

Answer 2

Watched a red tail hawk attack a fox squirrel and eat it.

Watched a friend with buck fever shoot the only fallen log in the way of one of the largest bucks Id seen in a while. killed the log, deer got off clean, cause I was laughing so hard.

One morning I was walking out to the stand and the turkeys had nested in the tree between the house and tree stand. It was still dark and the turkeys where spooked and tryed to fly off, crashing through every pine tree limb in the woods. I was surprised none were knocked out.

Had a sparrow purch on the end of my muzzle loader once.

Watched a squirrel fall out of a tree 40 feet to the ground.

Scared two deer that were sleeping both jumped up the first jumped over a old cow fence, the second one (that years fawn) tryed and ended up getting caught between the fence and a tree the rested on the fence. The fawn could not free itself so I had to walk up to it and using my body wieght push the fence back so the fawn could get loose.

Answer 3

A hunting camp I was in a few years ago had a member that slept naked.One night after everyone had gone to bed two men and a lady pulled into camp looking for their lost hunting dogs.They were parked at our dog pen which is approx.150yds from the camp building .The member (with no clothes) woke up and thought they were stealing our dogs,so he was going to sneak up on them and see what was going on.He started across the camp lawn and when he got about half way the truck started up and turned around and he was trapped in their headlights with nothing to hide behind. I see those guys every once in a while and they ask me if I still hunt with the naked man camp.

Answer 4

I was hunting mule deer I California. While in the mountains there were two other hunters about 7 to 8 hundred yards away from me between them was a shallow gorge a mullie had gotten between them and was literally crawling on his belly to get between then. With my .308 I knew I was out of range for a kill. Needless to say those other hunters didn't get him either. I wish I had my camera.

Answer 5

well my hunting partner and i went out hunting a few years back, we decided to take his S10 pickup, there was very little snow on the ground so we werent terribly worried about getting stuck. well needless to say we got stuck on a frozen chunk of gravel.. so here i am jumpin up and down on the rear bumber of a s10 just getting covered in rubber and frozen gravel. that smell never went away and we didnt see any deer.


another time i was hunting with my brother, we were useing a hay wagon as a blind, with the hay bails as sides to it. well needless to say my brother likes his sleep. He fell asleep about the time it was getting light enough to see and ended up knocking over half the hay bails and scaring away three doe.

Answer 6

Ok here it goes.....

When I was 15 or 16 years old I was hunting the Muddy Creek WMA in Arkansas with my father. It was new years eve and it was literally 10 degrees and below zero with the wind chill. We were in our sleeping bags with the coleman stove going and a candle lit.

(Well my mother is the type who believes clothes, especially underwear need to be heavily bleached. And I do mean heavily. So from time to time your tee shirts and such would just rip or tear for no reason.)

About 10:00 pm the wind kicked up and the shivering kicked in. I asked my dad how cold he thought it really was and for the couple of seconds he thought about his answer. Well about that same time I thought I felt a tick crawling inside my left pant leg. I reached down and felt around and when I pulled my hand out, my damn underwear (that my mom had bleached to death) came out in my hand.

Seeing my underwear in my shivering hand, my dads jaw just fell open.

And his answer has to how cold he really thought it was? "Cold enough to freeze your hanes right off " . And we laughed for about 10 minutes.

Answer 7

Some people in the camp next to us were trying to cook a big #10 can of Dinty Moore beef stew on their fire. It blew up and shot the stew all over the place and even put out the fire embers were everywhere it seems they forgot to put a vent in the can before trying to cook, you should have seen them with stew dripping all over them and their car and tent. Needless to say when they went out in the morning i went in the opposite direction.
