I turn to see a freaking emu walking across the food plot at about 200 yards quote: Had an emu come into my food plot once time. WTF? Where the frick are yall hunting?
I was in a lease in evergreen Alabama at the time. 80s and 90s emus was like essential oils and everyone was gonna get rich with them. They were selling eggs for a couple grand a piece and I know of several folks that were gonna be rich with emu farms.
Well I guess emu burgers didn’t take off and several people just shot theirs when the realized it was never gonna be a market for emu meat and only suckers who bought emu eggs or baby emus.
Word was ol boy was attached to his and didn’t have the heart to shoot them so he turned them loose and several went straight wile and lived for years.

This past Friday at 5:54 am sitting in a ground blind in yellville, ar I heard/felt a loud pop underground and then the ground starting vibrating for about 3-4 seconds. Turns out it was an earthquake. My first experience with one of those. Pucker factor was a 10

My family used to have a small deer property in the Hill Country in Texas (since sold) with a small cabin.
At the time (1980's) I was going to LSU, so I drove over on a Thursday to my father's house in Houston to spend the night and then ride the rest of the way with him on Friday evening to the property to hunt the next week.
Well, that didn't happen because my Dad got stuck at work until at least Sunday...so, I decided to go ahead and drive over so I could get a few hunts in before he got there. I also decided to bring his Golden Retriever with me to have some company and in case I got a chance to shoot some doves in a corn field we had permission to hunt adjacent to our property. The dog rode shotgun in my truck.
To get to our small property, you had to cross an easement on a big ranch for about 5 miles of caliche road, which crossed a couple of creeks.
I was climbing out of the nearest creek bed to the cabin with the windows of my truck about half open when the dog suddenly stood up in the seat and started whining, growling, and barking.
I stopped the truck and grabbed a .38 I had in my console, when right in front of the truck, about 20 yards and in the headlights, a large tan animal with a long tail, ran across my path. The dog went crazy and I rolled up the windows quick to keep her from jumping out.
I was stunned, but proceeded on our cabin. That night the dog went crazy again twice, and although I never saw or heard anything outside, there were a couple of water jugs that were tipped over the next morning. I checked for tracks around the cabin and in the creek bed, but the ground was too hard.
To this day, I'm convinced I saw a vagrant young tom mountain lion. Needless to say, I was very nervous hunting that week and didn't let the dog out of my sight.

Hunting St Catherine Creek near Natchez, had to stay at the executive inn no tell motel on Hwy 61. Well we wake up around 430 and go outside to grab our hunting clothes we had in the back of the truck airing out, hear some very loud footsteps and some giggling. Look up to the second floor, and two strippers in legit stripper heels, are making their way back for the night. They did not sniff our bait we had set up, nor responded to our grunt calls but it was interesting seeing them in the wild.

Picked up a dead body in a shrimp trawl in the northwest corner on lake Ponchartrain in the 60's. Shut us down from catching some nice shrimp.
60's also, a really dry September in the woods south of Boutte, swamp was really dry except for a pond about 200 feet across. It was an Indiana Jones snake pit. I went through 2 boxes of 22 shells with a single shot rifle standing in one place.
Son and I was king fishing about 8 miles southeast of Kuwait City in '97, when a military patrol boat kinda fired ahead of us not at us, and boat captain said not to worry, they are dolfino fishing. Shooting porposes with a fifty caliper.
A freind that used to pedal chemicals in China said he had a social outing, where a chicken was released about 200 yards away on a hill side and the match was to hit it with a 50 caliper least number of shots. Probably true.
Did a hog hunt south of Morgan city using an air boat to locate and flush for shooting in the 2005 period. Previous shooters got excited and put a couple rounds through the bow.
I guess drunk hunting club weird stuff is to commen to be called strangest

Lot of similar stories in North MS. Don't know if any were true.

Had a mountain lion stalk up right behind a brush blind my wife and I were sitting in one morning, never heard it until I heard it make a purring sound, a sound I will never forget. I slowly turned to see it maybe 15 to 20' behind us, that got the heart rate up. We looked at each other for maybe 5 seconds that seemed like 5 mins and then it kept on walking off into the brush. The backside of the over look we were hunting was thick brush and it was all over in less 30 seconds we never saw it again. Wife will never and I mean never will hunt on the ground outside of a blind again.
Some Emu's were turned out around our place in South Texas, those are some mean mf'ers. They have dew claws that could gut a man, a high school buddy almost learned that the hard way one drunken night in the late 80s ??
We also a couple monkey sightings around our place in the 80s.

Hell is there any animal that you can’t see in Hills in Texas.

Wasn't hunting. But we lived in the woods for awhile in Warrior, AL. House was right at the base of a ridge in steep valley.
Laying in bed 1 night when my wife and I are woken up by the strangest scream I've ever heard. It was as if a howler monkey, an owl, a dog, and a mountain lion had combined into one animal. It sounded the most like a monkey though. And it was terrifically loud. we were in a dead sleep, and volume wise it sounded like it was in the room, though we could tell it was several hundred yards back in the woods. it was a combo of screech, howl, bark, and scream.
Still have no idea what it was. Thought it might be a Barred Owl, but it was completely different sound.

if we lived in PNW, would have been my first thought. lol.
I have a lot of family that grew up in the foothills of Mt St Helens, most of them believe. Haven't had the heart to tell them that somebody would have videoed a Squatch in the days after the eruption because of how much land area was disrupted.

Not something I saw but something I smelled :
Back in the early 90’s I was supervising a logging job in the Sabine River bottom west of Starks, La. Hwy 12.
I pulled off at a random spot off the highway to take a leak and there was a strong smell of rotting flesh, but a smell that was somehow different from a deer or anything else.
I got back in the truck and told the guy with me, a deer or something must have got hit in the highway and crawled off to die in the thicket. I mentioned the difference I had sensed.
About 10 days later, I drive by that area and had to stop. There was crime scene tape all over that spot. Stopped at the highway weigh station down the Highway and the guy said some crazy Texan across the river had cut up his girlfriend with a chainsaw and spread parts of her in the river and at random places. What I had smelled was her torso, without head, arms or legs.
A fisherman in the river had spotted a leg under some trees and started the hunt.
I am still grateful I didn’t find that carcass.
I still remember the smell.

Same thing by my family's land in Boligee, AL in the 90's. We used to get emus from time to time from a farm down the road that went under and just let them all go. My cousin shot one around 97-98

Not crazy but hearing a grizzly in your camp in Wyoming while trying to sleep is always fun. Wolves too.
