Freaking Me Out

“I Solo hiked this weekend in IN. The Two Lakes Loop Trail 12.5 m

It was great ended up doing 8 miles the first day when i picked camp in a clear open field. I picked a spot between three pine trees the only trees in the field. Set up ate, etc.

Fell asleep around 8:30 only to wake up to a Buck(deer) grunting heavily next to my tent........not thinking anything of it untill I here......

the sound of motors humming coming up through the field. The next thing I know spot lights are shining through my tent. Scared #&%!$less I grab my boots and open my pocket knife, then I here some one shout, "this way ya'll"

O wonderful its deliverence style man, I dare them to make me sqeel like a pig!!!!!!!!!!thats all that went through my mind when all 7 4x4's dove by. Most likely they shot that buck and he was running while they tracked the blood trail. He didnt sound to well know that I think about his grunt.

So, when the took off I fell back asleep and the next morning I saw there tracks and they came from the middle of no where!!!! not from the trail at least. They almost ran me over thow seeing there tracks that close!!!!!



I guess Im lucky!! reported them to the ranger the next morning believing they where pouchers!!!”

“i guess im the only puss on TT!”

“That sounds crazy prowler!

You are very luckey!

I hope the Rangers catch them.

“Yeah, poachers are a-holes. I'm all for hunting, but only when done legally.”

“Maby someone should hunt them?

8)”

“After the poachers are caught I'll offer to store the evidence for them.

In my freezer.”

“Man that's scary. Poachers give hunters a bad rap.

Prowler, what colour was your tent? Did it blend in with the surroundings? Do you think those a-holes spotted you?”

“Sceery :(”

“You didn't talk to the 'hunters'? How did you know it was a buck?”

“stanlee, my tent was blue and I know they must of spotted me w/ there spot lights going through the tent. But then again I had a great spot between three trees!



bacpac,, I hunt quit a bit during season and I am pretty good at calling bucks w/ my caller! So I think I know the sounds of a buck expecially in distress! Being that Ive killed plenty!”

“More likely a calf had gotten out.”

“hehe, definetly no calf!


There were tracks the next morning mixed w/ 4x4 tracks! I know a BUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Blood trail? Gun shots? I don't know if I could recognize the sex of a deer by the sound of his voice. What does a buck deer in distress sound like?”

“One riot, one Ranger......”

“Did it sound like this?

Or more like this?”

“Prowler, I agree. Poachers are total a-holes. My friends and I reported some antelope poachers a few yrs. ago and they got in serious trouble (they shot 5 antelope in broad daylight and left them all laying in a field). Felt good too!”

“If you are hunting in order to eat the food, OK then. If you hunt just to kill things and leave the animal to rot, as Newgirl states, then...may God strike you a severe blow...something like 3 days of intestinal rot, would be a good punishment.

Prowler...your lucky they didn;t run you to ground. You better stay in one peice, you gotta make breakfasts on the canoe trip...even if it is weird stuff that you will be cooking. NO INNARDS!!! please.”

“No guts, no glory!

Violin-
W T F?”

“

Did it sound href="http://residents.bowhunting.net/bowhunt1/bkgrunt.wav" target="_blank">like this?

or this?”

“like this?

or this?”

“Heard that!”

“That last one was an eight-pointer, Violin. How did you get close enough to record him?”

“We chased him in a pick-up truck. Almost ran over some nut in a tent, but the recording was worth it!”

“lol violin!”

“I guess that nut should've had a yellow tent...that way it would've stood out behind those trees.”

“bacpac do you hunt?

I can tell the difference between a doe and a buck!

Besides it wasnt a damn calf!!!”

“violin, that could be possible!”

“I hunt, but a goat, a buck deer and a doe sound the same to me.”

“not to much doe's have more of a lower pitch , kinda (you heard a doe bleet before?) it sounds more in that way rather than a buck grunting!”

“A buck grunts during the rut. This is called a tending grunt and is not typical of the grunts and bleats a deer makes outside the rut. Tending grunts are low in pitch and low in volume. This is the sound you get from hunter grunt tubes.

Perhaps the deer found you arousing.”

“Farm animal sex- with bacpac and prowler. ehhh' nasty”

“and at the last minute, Tea engages by launching a harpoon”

“bucks do tend to grunt in distress as well, not only during the rut! This past spring I had a BUCK stuck in a fence with a front leg broken and he was grunting! Bucks dont always have a normal routine as to what noises they make, F!!ck this im not going to sit here and listen to your bull sh!!t about what it was I KNOW WHAT IT WAS!! not only noises but by tracks so chill!

I dont plan on putting you on my bad side necause of what hppened last weekened but im heading that way!!!!!!”

“ah, go ahead and do it Prowler, you probably will have to do it sometime, why wait?”

“I hear ya! I just dont like to get my blood pressure to high! LOL

lifes great!”

“prowler, eventually you will realize that if you get pissed off, then bacpac wins.

Wrestling with a pig in the mud is an interesting way to spend one's time, but eventually you will come to realize that the pig actually enjoys it.”

“good point Hobbit! Ya Ino Im just a stress case when Im not on the trail!!!!

Isnt it just great how much of a natural medication the trail is!!”

“I just find it disappointing that so many hikers put down the locals as unlawful thugs out to destroy. A few guys in trucks turn into a poaching raid, because of an over imaginative fearful camper.

There were no guns, no blood, no cursing, no hassles, just some guys driving in the woods.

"I can tell a buck by the sound of his voice." What a crock.”

“"I can tell a buck by the sound of his voice." What a crock

VOICE WHAT VOICE jack ass! I can get probably a dozen HUNTERS on here and they will tell you bucks do grunt in distress! Wouldnt you!!!!!!!!! or you gonna sit like a B!!TCH when some poucher comes blast you in your ass!

Do they need to curse and Hassle some one to be a poucher??
Your now putting down the locals!


Guys in the NATIONAL FOREST riding 4 wheelers w/ spot lights at 2 am, on a desinated trail for hikers only and coming out of the woods from no where!!!!!!!!
Fearful in the backcountry, so you've NEVER been fearful! SH!!T!”

“soory to whom this may affend! but it must be spam!”

“I argee!

I am on your side Prowler!

“Whoa, dudes/dudettes, I, like was having a dream I was in Oregon this morning. I woke up from the dream and looked at the clock and it was, like, 5:03! Whoa!”

“May Fat Freddie's Cat eat all your roaches.”

“mmmm roaches.

I had a freak out once. Good thing they had a freak out tent :)”

“dang Stove Stomper I didn't know you were a FFFB fan”

“I was a semi-hippy in the mid 1970s, HOI. ;-)”

“......but don't worry, I grew up.”

“whoa, the same thing happened here. I found myself extremely hungry. Looked at the clock and saw it was just a few minutes after 4:20.”
