Since we have the what have you found in the woods while hunting and the what have you lost in the woods while hunting,...
Would be neat to see what everyone has seen that is Odd or funny in the woods.
I had a drunk grouse smash into a tree 1 day.
Was back in the early 80s. 1 of those years where we had a nice warm fall and Buck season was on the warm side.
There was a spot I liked to go to and sit on a big rock cliff that over looked a nice little thicket that all the deer liked to sneak into and get away from everyone hunting.
1 day I'm walking in, had to go thru an area that was majorly thick and had a mess of fox grapes growing in there..
Well that year, there was a lot of fox grapes still left hanging on the vines and were pretty dried up and I'm guessing very fermented..
I just got thru the green briers and a grouse went out of the fox grape vines...I heard it and looked up and saw it, that grouse was not flying all to good!
As I'm standing there trying to figure out why this gouse was not flying to good, it goes head first into a big oak tree and lands on it's back in the leaves..
I was shocked, stood there trying to think of WHY a Grouse whould fly head on into a tree?
As I'm looking at the grouse now on it's back and wondering why it was flying funny and flew into the tree, it rolls over, almost looked like a dog, shook it's head as if to shake off the feeling of the hitting the tree and the fermented grapes and started running away...
That grouse looked like a Drunken Human when it went to running, stumbling all over itself and falling over... I think it was 2 reasons it was running and falling all over the place..
a little drunk from the fermenting grapes
and
had a head ache from going head first into the tree and also starting to get a hang over!
had 3 doe come running full speed down the side of the step mountain that was all rocks, we always hunted for deer... was buck season and Dad told me to sit up, half way up the steep rocky area and he would circle back around and push from the top and push the deer out of what we called the "Flat" right off the top of the mountain, down to me..
About an hour after getting settled in, here comes 3 doe...they are running down the rocks, FULL SPEED...1 stumbles, goes head over heels and starts rolling, legs flying all around and I could see it was trying to get itself rightened again.
It finally stopped rolling and stood up..
That Doe looked around as if to make sure no one saw what had happened, shook a little and back down the mountain she went.
I stood and laughed from how it all went on..was still laughing when Dad got to me and I told him what had happened.
He said I should have had Film Camera because it would have made for a good show to show everyone else what had happened!
