(1) I was hunting alone in California about 30 years ago. Decided to take a short cut up a steep hill below a road to my grandparents house. After climbing an almost cliff right below the road I found a woman's driver license and credits cards and a employee picture i.d. When I got to grandparents, called sheriff to give them stuff. They had me take them back to site. They then found other evidence like underwear,etc. Turned out it was from a woman victim of a serial killer and they already had most of her body parts that were hacked up and thrown into the ocean.
(2) I was hunting alone for a state park at night and was warned about mountain lion attacks. The park sent a mountain lion expert to show me the lion sign where I was hunting and I learned a lot about lions, but nothing useful for self-protection. It was real foggy that night and after the dogs jumped some hogs I killed a big sow, took a blood sample, tagged her ear and the dogs were on another one. I pulled a magnet from some spare radio collars I had in a backpack for just such situations and tossesd it onto the dead sow, than ran off into the canyon after the next one. After making a round, I went back about 3 AM to get the sow and my collar with all the dogs on leash. The collar was there, but the sow was gone. I saw a drag mark in the wet grass from the fog and followed it about 100 feet away to a downed tree top. The dogs started acting all wierd and were jerking on the leash. I heard a noise and then silence. I found the hog and the ear tag and parts of it were all chewed up. I decided to call it an early night and got out of there extra fast.
(3) Same state park, I had a new dog trash a deer, but I thought he had a hog bayed. I turned in my catch dog in her vest, leather back then. The buck tossed her into the crotch of a tree about 8 feet off the ground where she stuck fast and then picked the trashy cur dog up in his antlers and ran off the mountain carrying the dog. It was clearly and OH____!!! moment.
Thats amazing...Great thread
