Back around 72/73 was 10/11 years old and loved to squirrel hunt. I'd wear old quail hunting pants and a brown long sleave sweat shirt when I went (poor kids camo back then)
I hunted with a little Ithaca 49 lever action single shot and shot shorts most of the time. I had been sneaking through the woods and had shot four or five squirrels, which I always gutted on the spot and strung them on a old leather cord from my belt. I was standing by a tree watching the ridge across from me and I heard something running fast at me from behind, barely got turned and it was a coyote, he grabbed the bottom squirrel as he ran by, it about jerked me down, I think it scared him as bad as it did me, he took off like a bat out of hell. I started using a quail vest to put my squirrels in after that day,
I worked for a large sporting goods company that frequently took important customers out west hunting, on one hunt we took three big retail buyers and a federal game warden that we thought could help us with a govt contract.
The game warden knew I had been in the service and had went to Ranger school and had seen action, on the first day I came into the truck about an hour after dark, it appeared no one else was at the truck, I started taking off my pack when this idiot jumped out of the dark at me to scare me, I just acted out of reflex butt stroked him right at the top of the breast bone, knocked him on his hiney and knocked the wind out of him, everyone else was hiding in the brush watching by the glow of the cab light, they though it would be hilarious, I told them to thank God I had unloaded the rifle walking the last 100 feet to the truck. Scared the hell out of me, needless to say it didn't happen again.
Last summer my wife gets me up, says there is a weird light running around in the field. It's like 2am. I get up get my clothes on, grab the .45 and my brightest light. I watch for awhile and for sure there is this little light going on and off close to the road but out in my field. I can't hear a sound. I slip out the back and walk down the drive to the road which is white chat and you can see it good at night, I can see a outline of a truck, as I get closer it sounds like someone groaning. I slip up right beside the door and then switch on the light. She is butt naked laying in the seat, keeping her self occupied, this young guy comes running up from the front of the truck butt naked, he's been trying to get a cell phone signal out in my field. Turns out to be a couple of kids my oldest went to school with.lol
Scared the crap out of them, I've seen them since, she always blushes, he laughs about it, said she was totally freaked out.
