Strangest thing you have run across while hunting

[JSEAY]

We were hunting an area once where drug dealers are known to drop goods from planes into the lakes with floats on them well long story short found were two crocker sacks that hit the ground instead of the lake and pot was growing all over the place.  Needless to say we got outa there pretty quick.

We have a lot of those old cemetaries out in the woods around here.  There even used to be an ald town out in the swamp that mollaria supposedly wiped out.

Long story short.  Was in one of these old unmarked cemetaries one spring day just looking around at some of the old head stones and stuff.  Looked down at a grave and there was a 3pt. deer antler laying on the grave about where the guy's chest would be.  Looked like a hand sticking out of the ground at firts glace.  First reaction, curse and jump. LOL  Still got that antler around here somewhere.

With all the new members that have joined in 2009, I thought I would drag up this old post and see what strange things they have run across.



I will add a strange find that we ran across on a hunt last month.   Homeless encampment in the woods. Complete with tent, tarps, and plenty of shopping carts.

I found a man and a woman in their car, both shot in the head. It was pretty freaky.

I called the police, and after they investigated for a while found out it was drug related. Some meth heads

Three weeks ago I found a couple teenagers in the throes of passion, pretty damn funny. So long as she ain't my kin, she ain't my business.

About two weeks ago I was hunting in Goliad when I herd a loud constant blowing noise, I walked up to find a underground pipeline that had a leak and had blown a circular hole out of the wet ground, needless to say I told the land owner in the morning, not to weird.

I was hand fishing a few years back on found a man floating face down in the river. I recognized the man after the cops got him out of the water. He was also homeless.. He was shot in the head

Chris,
Thats an old water well. The water table must be very shallow. We have some like that on one of our places, same kind sandy soil as yalls place.

The strangest thing I have found is this building in the brush. The dogs were bayed up so we kicked the catch dogs out. They caught it in the building. It sounded bad hearing the hog hit the tin... didn't know what was going on. We are guessing its a coyote camp or an old green house...

I was in the middle of the woods with my ol lady and buddies when a wide eyed spaced out jickster carrying about a 10 foot arrowhead rake came walking up. He said he'd been looking for arrow heads the last couple of days.

Maybe not the strangest thing I have seen in the woods hunting, but one of the strangest feelings I have had hunting, was when the dogs bayed one night in a cemetary, around midnight. We got there and the hog was backed up to a headstone....and you had to walk over the graves, and lean over the headstone to grab a tail......

It was kind of a strange feeling to be standing on a grave in the middle of the night, grabbing a hog by the tail, over the top of a tombstone. I kept waiting for something to reach up out of the grave and grab ME!

If I had stepped on a tree limb or something and it popped up and hit my leg, they would have had to bury me right there in that cemetary.........

Bear Grylls.  Ran into Bear Grylls one night, he was scared to death, had to help the poor fella out of the woods.

One night we were hunting when something walks out of the brush walks along the road infront of us for about 10 yards and cuts back into the brush.  The dogs didnt know what it was.  They started to whine and would just stick thier necks out where the thing had went back in the brush trying to wind it. All the dogs were trash broke but it was something htye have never ran across. It was kinda tall and slender.

That wasn't on the power lines on the Poinciana side of Davenport was it......LOL.... I ran into a sack myself.....we were riding 3 wheelers....(yes 3 wheelers...it was in the 80's..... ) down the road a few miles from my house....

Well the strangest thing in my 26 yrs of hunting came last Friday night.....We had just finished a good hunt, caught a nice sow, got my two newly transfered to Texas, Florida Curs to bay their first hog.....and Maver!ck's two strike dogs and my strike dog was bayed on a hog for about 45 minutes...when we got close......they quit baying......not sure why. Well it is late and we are heading back to the truck when my strike dog, who is being led by the guy from GA I was partners on the dog with, just drops dead!!!! No struggle, no unusual breath sounds, no signs or symptoms, a perfectly healthy dog......just drops dead........THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN WHILE HUNTING....

 I was coon hunting in Spring, Texas on Christmas eve in 1974. I was in behind where the Carter Country gun store is, before it was built. I was in a big Pin Oak flat, sitting on a log, listing to my dog working an old cold track. I hadn't been there long, when I looked over my left shoulder and saw what appeard to be a round object with red and green squares of lights on it. The lights started flashing, then they looked like they were going around this object. This thing was huge and I just knew I was going to have a close encounter of some kind. About the time I was getting realy conserned, the lights went off and in a few seconds, they came back on and said Merry Christmas. It was the Goodyear blimp that was stationed in Spring for several years.

That is a good one Bob, did you ever hear about that african lion that escaped from the traveling zoo and was walking down Treshwig Rd during the 40's-50's haha.  Actually jumped a yard fence and came in up to a house.  They said all you could hear was the cur dogs bumping their heads under the house hahah

I once found a complete 56 chevy in the bottom of a creek in Leon County.  The water and rust had done a number on it but it was a complete car when it was put there.
