I have a few believe it or not.

3 years ago I had my good female and male dog and it was a school night I just figured I would go down my road tree a couple and go home. I cut loose where I had several times and they struck within a minute and treed in under 3 minutes right on the edge of the woods not 100 yards away from me. I had the gun but it was out of season at that time. I shined the tree as I was walking throught the field and I seen the coon right off and then right beside me in the line of rosebushes I heard a growl and what sounded like a coyote pup doing it. It wasn't 5 feet from me but I couldn't see it well I was about to shoot into the rosebush when a dog fight broke out on my dogs tree!! I didnt know what to think but my dogs were getting throught the country fast chasing the coyote(s) that had attacked them. Those two dogs woln't run anything but a coon but I guess they didn't take well to them attacking them. Well they had crossed onto a church camp property and I heard a police car coming down the road I was parked on so I dropped the gun there and proceeded to my dogs. They got treed again off this little sideroad and I was walking in somebody's long driveway when I heard a HEY! I turned and it was a guy standing saying what are you doing back here? i said I was just coon hunting and was trying to get my dogs back. He said well how do I know that you could be back here snooping around and out of the trailer another guy with hair down to his knees stepped out onto the porch. I had kept my distance because I noticed they were on the edge about something they started to walk toward me and I said it woln't happen again and turned and walked fast toward the road to get my treed dogs. As soon as I got out of the driveway I heard a VROOM I knew they were coming to look for me. I layed in the beans and watched them speed up and down the road from one end to the other. I was forced to walk all the way home because they were waiting by my truck. it was about 2 miles home and I tryed to stay way out in the fields but came upon a tight high barbed wired fence so I had to walk down the road and I came out and about 10 of them were standing by a different trailer I knew i was in trouble so I got way back out in the field and made it home safley and went back and got my truck. i don't know what they thought I had found back there but they wanted to catch up to me very bad.

Next was about 5 months ago. Me and my friend cut loose my male dog im hunting now and a female out of my good female. My male got struck within a couple minutes and treed and as we were walking in there his female split treed like 15 or 20 yards away from my male dog. Shined his tree and found it so we went to her tree and it was a hollow beach tree that was big but straight up with no limbs. I just tied my male dog up to his tree because we were going to shoot her coon out. The tree had a hole right in the bottom but not enought to get his head and rifle in so he kicked out a section and we both heard CRKKKKKK and knew it was coming down. It kame a tumbling down and shook the ground and landed within 1 foot of my male dog. We now think before kicking the bottom of trees out.

No real encounters but my hair stood up many times this one night. This is a long story from right at 40 years ago!

We parked at the back corner of a pasture and headed the two dogs north into the swamp. There was woods to the east and pasture to the south and west. This time the dogs went south and struck along the edge of the pasture about where I figured a powerline crossed. Back then we followed the dogs wherever they went and that meant walking. While walking across the pasture I noticed how chilly it was and the frost had already fallen yet it was only 7:30. I also noticed a fog, thick as a cloud, about 20 feet above our head. I had never seen that, frost and fog at the same time, not in the lowcountry of South Carolina. The dogs were trailing further into the woods so we left the pasture and caught up to them at a gum pond of shallow water off the edge of a hill. A five foot hill is a pretty big hill around here. There was a huge Elm or Ashe, the slick barked tree that every body likes to carve their name in and sat down leaning on it to listen.

It was such a crisp night I could hear the plodding splashes and even the water dripping off the dogs. Again my dog went OOOO.He was one of those weak tongue walkers we had back then. Then another ooo or two and then a ooiyoo, a bark I'd never heard. Everything was so still when I yelled out "Whadjusaay?" That scared my buddy and his younger brother so bad they liked to climbed the tree, WHAT, WHAT What? they asked,"who dat you talkn to?" No more resting for them and they were spooked. One of them happened to notice initials carved in the trunk and started reading them coming around so engrossed they tripped over me. We all got interested and finally got to one with a heart and something like JR+LH and dated the same date only exactly 40 years prior. That was little strange to me, what with the fog and all.

I have a strange thing happen to me every time I go. Don't know why but I allways go home. Never really remember wanting to but allways do. Can't explain it. Anyone got any ideas why a man would do that?

this just happened last weekend, opening night of pa, friday night at midnight, my g/f and i turned my 1 1/2 yr old male and 2 1/2 yr old female redbone team loose at the beginning end of a large cornfield. left side of the cornfield is a smaller cut cornfield and a river to the left of that! there is a hedge row of large oaks that seperate the smaller cornfield from the larger one. we started treeing coons immediately but the first 3 trees were denners, and the next 2 were little bitty rascal coons, at the end of this cornfield is another small patch of large oaks and again the river. we got to this patch of oaks and the dogs were treeing again, and lo and behold, my young male had 4 trees he was bouncing off and all 4 held coon, big coons at that. my female was acting real strange and stood dead still watching toward the right side edge of this cornfield which was no more than 60 yards away from where i was having the time of my life dropping coonzzzzzzzzz! atta boy, i'm saying, and my g/f says little ann ain't acting right, then she says did you hear that thud? nope but i keep hearing splashes i said as the river is right there within underhand rock tossing distance, yep that close! now i hear that thud while shotgun is wrestling with dead coon, and still hearing splashing. none of the coon dropped into the water, and i shot out all i saw right to the bottom of the trees! little ann never made a move from my g/f's side, when we gathered up the coons and walked to the edge of the cornfield on the right that is bordered by a hayfield so i could skin them on the wire fence, my g/f said i got eyes. i looked where she was shining her spotlight, and there were 12 sets of eyes positioned around us in a half moon shape! they were coyotes! i knew i had 2 shells left in the clip of my 22 mag, and reached for my box to reload my clip when i just realized i lost that box of shells somewhere back in the other direction. my g/f was scared half to death and i was downright nervous!!!!!!!!! we leashed the dogs, she walked them back to the blazer and i carried those coon to skin later! went back the next day to find my shells unsuccessfully, but when i got to that spot i peered into the river to find a large tree had fallen and given the coyotes an easy route across the river! i'll always keep an extra box of 22 mags on me from now on.

This is not scary but is kind of amazing, how many have been hunting and hear people talking? It sounds like they are no more than 40 yards away ( up wind ) just talking normal, when they are actually at least a mile away or more. The conditions have to be just right on a quiet night with a real light breeze.
These conditions can cause a person to walk a long way too. Dog sounds like he's in there a quarter mile treed, you take off walking rather than drive around the section, you get half way through the section and realize the dog is half way through the next mile section, still locked down treed.
The way sound can travel is probably the reason some have been scarred a time or two.

This one happened while I was in high school. I pulled into the river and was putting the tracking collars on the dogs and I noticed a car pulling into the area I was parked, I didn't think much of it being as I was on family owned property so I went a head and cut the dogs in to the woods and stood by the pickup. As I was standing there the car made it's way to where I was standing and it happened to be the deputy of the county, he told me that I better catch my dogs because there were four convicts on the loose and they were heading my way. Needless to say the dogs got struck deep and got treed, so I asked him if he would walk with me to the dogs, he said he better get back to town and couldn't help so there I was heading into the woods alone and armed with a .22 pistol. I made tracks in fast and faster out of the woods that night. They caught the convicts 1/4 mile from where I treed. They must of thought the hounds were coming to get them because they did surrender.

I ran into a bum one night camped in the woods rolled in a blue tarp to keep warm. It was odd seeing that from a distance, but my buddy and I strolled up and made it known that we were there and he welcomed us into his camp, we visited awhile and had a cup of coffee with him and then headed on. He was a nice guy that was just down on his luck and headed to nowhere in particular, looking back on that one we were idiots for even heading toward that campsite, but we were young and dumb. Luckily he was a nice guy.

When we got to them my dog decided she did not want to tree so I sent her on to go hunting. We knocked the coon out to the other dog and skinned it. By then my dog got struck. The other guy walked his dog back to the truck. I told him I would just knock this next coon out when I got it treed and walk back to the truck. Well, my dog got deep into the section and treed next to a drive on the far side. It was a quiet crisp night. I got to her and tied her in and knocked the coon out to her. I was over a half mile from my buddy who was in a bottom with 2 cornfields and a 40 acre woods between us. He said he thought I was less than 1/4 mile away or else he would have drove around to pick me up. He said he could here me plain as day talking to my dog when I got to the tree and could even hear the coon hit the ground when I knocked it out!

The track started getting better and moved further out in the woods. After a while we came out on the powerline right of way. The dogs were moving on down to the right. We followed along 3 or 4 powerpoles worth and I started expecting to get back to the pasture. When we walked past another 3 or 4 poles I knew something was definately wrong. We stopped and tried to figure it out and it was like my brain turned halfway round in my head. Almost made me dizzy. I guess that's the definition of "turned around" instead of being lost. We finally figured that we had passed under the powerline while still in the pasture and with the low hanging fog had not seen it. That would put us going away when we went to the right. With that all figured out, the dogs were doing a good job trailing more or less parallel to the powerline, somtimes crossing and staying parallel on that side providing us with a good up-close chase. This track kept on for a mile or more getting hotter all the time. Finally they treed just 50 yards off the powerline on the riverbank we could not have crossed anyway. But they were on our side. The coon was looking and we shot him out in little time. If the coon would have been in the top we would have never seen him due to the fog bank but there was not a smidgeon of fog between us. When the dogs got finished, I picked him up and he didn't weigh ten pounds. His legs were as long as his body and his tail fell several inches past his nose. The younger brother was the official coon toter but he wouldn't put his hand on him. He kept saying "something aint right".

We got on the powerline headed back. Probably got a half mile when the dogs struck. Directly they jumped and came screaming back at us full cry. We had our lights on and a white house cat crossed streched out for all he was worth. The dogs got past us headed to a community of mostly black folks. They didn't get far and pulled up baying, sounding maybe like they were in a hollow. We headed down an old trail road and were about to get to a hogwire gap, not a gate, the kind you stretch the fence and loop the piece of wire back over the second post, when we heard some slamming and an old woman's voice, sounded like a witch, "Git out from under my house". That was all the dogs needed. They hushed and before we got to the gap here they came full tilt. They were looking back over their shoulder when they hit that gap so hard you could hear the wire squeak for 100 yards in both directions. We never had to break them off house cats after that.

We were dying of thirst so we decided to go ask somebody for a drink of water, but we were going to skip that old woman's house. Nobody was home along that lane and directly it came out on the paved road near the Club Manhattan. That place was packed. I was 15 and not supposed to be near a Club but there we were. I recognized a fellow standing outside. I said "Johnson, we're parched. I got this coon. Reckon we could trade?" Real quick, somebody came back with three Wisers. From out in the yard the music sounded real good and I noticed on the sign it said Little Stevie Wonder. I don't know to this day if he was real, but he sure sounded good. Johnson, I thought it was Johnson, but it turns out everybody called him John's son, looked at that long tailed coon and told me to bring him one some other time. We had planned to walk the highway back to the car. It was a long straight three mile road to where we had to turn and walk for another mile. By then we were much refreshed and decided to hunt on back through the woods.

About 10 years ago my buddy Kenny, who was 6'4 and not scared of nuttin, and myself were out hunting and had turned a dog loose in a big patch of timber off an old gravel road .
It was late and had got deathly quiet and the coon were not moving very well.

After 15-20 minutes, our dog opens on a bad old track way to the east and opens occasionaly and finaly locates and trees.
I tell Kenny that theres another old road thattaway and I believe we could get closer, so off we go and sure enough when we get around to the other side we are a good bit closer,and we set off on foot to go to the dog.

We get there to find her treed on a big den tree but since it still had leaves on we started squalling and shining with dim lights, thinking it may be on the outside.
Im on one side of the tree closest to the truck and Kenny is on the oposite side, when I happen to notice a small dim light deep in the woods behind Kenny and it caught my eye because it was out of place. There were no houses or roads for a long way in that direction, so I watched it.
It would only stay on for 2 or 3 seconds and then be off for 10-15 seconds, but every time it came on it was closer.

Kenny is still blowin his squaller and looking for the coon totaly unaware that we have company comming from behind him. I just leave my light off and watch.

This goes on untill the last time i see the light it is no more than perhaps 20 feet behind him and then I never see it again.
Kenny has given up on finding the coon and comes to the tree, gets the dog, mumbles something about a den tree, hollars and asks me where im at cause ive got my light out, and walks over to me.
"who is that that walked in on us?" I asked him.
"Huh"
"Someone walked right in behind you over there" I told him"surely you seen it, heck it coulda tapped you on the shoulder".
He said"Schmucker, your crazy as he11,there is nobody over there"
I got my spotlight out and put it on the last place I had seen the light and when I did we see a figure step behind a big tree. So I just keep the spotlight on and walk over to the tree and this "thing" keeps moving around it to try and stay hid.
When I get right up to it, it is a full grown man in a alien/space monster costume,very realistic looking I mite add.lol
We try to talk to him, and ask him a few questions,but he refuses to say anything, he just stares at us.
Finaly I say, "well we gotta go" and away we went, and left him standing there, but I gotta say we kept looking over our shoulder and didnt waste any time getting the dog loaded and gettin outa there. lol

We drive a lil ways and neither one of us says a word, and finaly Kenny says, "Ill tell you one thing Schmucker, if that thing woulda said take me to your leader ,ida schitt my pants right there" rofl.

Absolutely a true story and I never did find out who it was or what he was doing out there, but I will never forget it.
