Interesting Hunting Stories

Hey don't blame him, he did not know you.

Plus I look like a deer so I got that going against me.

I was out last summer to shoot groundhogs on a farm and saw movement in the woods 400 yards past the field. I put my scope on it to see what it was. It was two naked dudes with knives stalking a deer. They got really close, about 5ft from it.

So I squeezed off a shot into the field (in a safe direction). Spooked the deer. It took off and trampled one guy. He just laid there rolling on the ground holding his balls. I think the deer stomped his ballsack. 2nd guy lunged at the deer and caught it by the leg. It stomped and bucked and kicked loose. The guy went running out after him at full speed straight through raspberry bushes and undergrowth and disappeared into the woods. 1st guy eventually got up and followed them.

I don't know what happened after that.

Ahhhhhh. Rule #2 got me. Twice.
2 stories from same BIL regarding his personal experience.

Walter, a previous coworker (RIP) had a decent story as well.

I am a horrible procrastinator, and this season I waited to the last minute to get a muzzleloader. Day before I am supposed to go out hunting, wake up and sight in the thing in below freezing windy as hell weather. Get it good to go and excitedly pack up for the weekend hunt.

Pull up to the stage area, and start unloading, my buddy asks what the hell I am doing with a black powder gun.

Yea, it was still shot gun season. Thankfully the guys I hunt with come prepared and I borrowed a gun.

Screw the rules! You only live once! Don't let the OP tell you how to live

Tell us the stories man. Live on the edge

Here is mine: My dad taught me to shoot with a single shot .22, killing muskrats. I would be paid $5 for every dead scrat I brought him. My best luck was at dusk when I would see them swimming across the pond, making a V-shaped ripple behind, with only their heads above water. I had to shoot them, then jump in the canoe and get them before they sank... Or if they were injured, before they swam away. It was not usually easy for me, and after one shot, there would be no more muskrats to be seen until the next day, because they are too smart.

My first time was my best time though. Two scrats were swimming across. I aimed at the closest one. The bullet went straight through its head, skipped on the water, and killed the second one. It was a 1 in a million kind of thing, probably could never be done on purpose by anyone. Just dumb luck. That was the first time I ever shot an animal.

Luck has been worse ever since.

My neighbor used to be an avid hunter. Until the day he grabbed his 30.06 rifle by the barrel to remove it from his truck and shot himself in the head.

That story is neither interesting nor humorous nor is it about hunting nor is a story you have witnessed.

Are you a moderator who is "super" or are you like a supervisor of moderators? Do you always ruin good posts with horrible stories?

Don't ban me, just asking

It is interesting because it's a cautionary tale for hunters transporting loaded rifles in their cars. He was an experienced hunter of 40+ years, I'm sure he transported his rifle like that many times over the years, except the last time it cost him his life, and his wife is now a widow in her golden years.

Your "rules" made no mention that it has to be funny, merely interesting. No, I didn't witness him blowing the top of his head off, but another neighbor found him laying in the driveway dead, I merely witnessed the aftermath as our area was swarmed with police.

I don't think anybody's gonna top that one.

I have trouble believing it.
