Strange things while hunting.

Eric Krewson:
I was on a bench on the side of a mountain on Skyline Mgt area in N Alabama once and heard a hound running deer in my direction.

7 deer headed my way at a casual trot, the hound was about 100 yards behind them. I was in a ground blind in big woods with huge trees all around me.

As the deer passed my blind at about 20 yards a doe took a huge leap to the side and stood behind a big tree looking in the direction of the hound.

The rest of the deer continued on their way up the mountain in a tight group. The hound appeared and followed the trail of the herd.

When the hound was about 50 yards past the hiding doe she casually stepped out from behind the tree and took a leisurely stroll back the way she came in the first place. 

Chief RID:
Deer that have been run by dogs for eons have a variety of stuff taught to them by there mothers and sisters. When you get that opp. to watch them in action it is a real treat.

Dakota Kid:
My father saw a doe being chased/trailed by a dog that had had enough of the pursuit. She stopped running at the top of a gradual rise and turned to face the dog. The goofy black lab never saw her stop and just kept trailing, nose to the ground. By the time the dog finally saw the doe now right in front of him, it was too late. She had reared up and landed a hoof right between his eyes. My dad said it sounded like a line drive off of a wooden bat. The dog dropped lifeless like a sack of potatoes, the doe having split the skull wide open. She snorted, stomped, and slowly walked away. Apparently the fight part of fight or flight comes after they're all out of flight as far as deer are concerned.

I have a lot of people calling me crazy every time I tell this story, but it did happen.

I was bowhunting on the Dixie Archers hunting club one evening, didn't see any deer so I left about dark thirty for the 40 mile drive home. I left the club land, turned left on the Sally Burns road and drove north. When I got to the intersection of the Sally Burns Road and Mt Hester road I was adjacent to some land my friend Ralph Waldrep hunted.

I saw a light at the end of a hay field on the land and assumed it was the headlights of Ralph's truck.

Always one to compare notes with my hunting buddies I stopped my truck, got out on the opposite side from the light and shouted "do any good Ralph". It was a very still evening and I was sure my voice would carry the 300 yards to where I saw the light but I got no response.

When I walked around my truck and started down a field road toward the light I could tell it wasn't headlights that I was seeing across the field. It was a round sphere of bright light about the size of a Volkswagen. It appeared to be hovering silently a few feet off the ground.

Directly behind the object was a steep hill rising several hundred feet to the top of a ridge, to the left of it was a creek bottom and an open hollow that extended for miles.

When I took a couple more steps in its direction, the object started drifting soundlessly to the left toward the open creek bottom.

When the object drifted to a point above the creek bottom it left to the east. I mean it really left. We are talking Star Trek, warp speed left. It went from being a Volkswagen sized orb of light to a pin prick of light disappearing into the night sky about 10,000ft up, all in the blink of an eye.

I was a helicopter crew chief in the Army back in the 60s so I know aircraft and altitude.

After it left I stood there awestruck thinking,” Well, I actually saw one".

that was either a ghost orb (yes those are a thing) or.......           ALIENS.

"Alien Bears?"
