Sitting in a hang-on stand on the side of a very steep hill, watching a bear bait, when a chopper hovered down to what seemed like eye level with me (which I'm sure it was not) needless to say that ended the hunt. When I walked the nearly two miles back to the truck, the state troopers where there waiting to ask some questions about some marijuana plants a few hundred acres away. I was almost 4 hrs from home and they ruined my hunt. I guess they were only doing their job, but it certainly wasn't the average day in the woods.

Driving home from work I decided to stop and see how my sons faired deer hunting that afternoon. As I drove down the stretch of road a doe ran in front of me and I hit her! She went spinning got up and ran to the next field. At thier truck they told me my oldest son shot at this deer and it ran up the hill into the path of a truck and they heard a loud boom!I told them that truck was me and they haven't let me forget it since! We all saw that doe several times that season she was pretty rattled, but alive!

This is kinda just a stupid thing, which cost me some of my hearing. I was guiding Elk in SW, Colorado and my hunter was some dude with a 338 w/muzzle break. We were watching a small herd coming across a mountain face at 600 yards. I was off to the side of him glassing for a legal bull. What I didn't know was that he had put his gun up on his sticks and was watching through the scope, the end of the barrel about a foot from my head. It was about then that he decided to pretend shoot a spike, only his safety was off. I swear I still hear ringing in my right ear 10 years later. Believe it or not he dumped the spike (illegal) and I flipped out on him. Bad day all around and fish and game eventually had their say as well.

As far as what you might have heard Andrew, it might have been a porcupine. They make some screams that sound like a baby being tortured....awful sounding stuff...and actually mating calls.
But, on a dark night, in a dark, isolated spot...makes you wonder if...
