Getting Attacked

[skydiver386]

I'm beginning to think a ankle biting Honey Badger might be a real threat.

It would be bad enough if they only bit your ankles, but it I has been said that they go for your balls. Now that's a real threat!

As a young lad hunting on Gentry Mountain with my pop. Dad was watching a clearing with myself 20 yards behind (I made too much noise to be right there with him). Suddenly, I heard running behind me and just as I looked to see what the commotion was a doe stopped not three feet from me, almost clobbering me with her hooves. We stared eye to eye for a few seconds, not romantically but of confusion, fear, and curiosity. She then about faced and bounded off a different direction. Dad neither saw, nor heard it. Noise maker 1, hunter 0.

LMAO.......

It's not the noise one makes, It's how and when the noise(s) is /are made.

When I get into an area I plan to spend aby time at I make a lot of noise clearing leaves, branches, debris in about a 3 feet circle to eliminate/ keep from making all unnecessary noise when getting into a shooting position should a deer or other game come into a shooting situation. The noise I make imitates a deer making a scrape or otherwise marking its territory.

I've had more deer and game come in to my set up more than once. Some took my imitation as a threat or challenge, but most have come in out of curiosity.

I enjoyed reading all these accounts. Not surprised by the turkey or geese accounts. The only African safari "charge" that put me in any real danger was when my wife saw the credit card bill for taxidermist and the shipping. lol
