I have two things... 1st when I was younger scouting a small woods with a friend.... we were standing in the woods just looking around... and we saw 3 deer in the distance a mom and two young deer (we had no camo on) and they kept coming our way and we werent behind any tree's or anything we just stood still... here the two young ones were button bucks and they kept walking our way and walked within 2 yards of us and were stairing us down... it was unbelievable and we kinda started to laugh, because we could have easily touched them... the mom stood farther away adventally they spoked, that shows how dumb young deer are..

2nd.. this past season I saw a bald eagle fly by me 3 different times and the last time it did it had a squirrel of something in its claws and then it dropped it and flew down and picked it up again. pretty amazing. this was in maryland.

Opening day of archery season I had a woodchuck climb up a slightly tilted tree about 10 feet away. He got up as high as I was and sat in a croch the tree had and watched me for a good 30 minutes. I also had a redtail hawk come down and pearch on a large dead branch about 6ft from me.

I don't know if you guys have weasels but where I hunt they always come in the stand. They are some ferocious little buggers. Probably the meanest animal around for their size. They'll try to bite you and everything. Chickadees fly right through my stand every once in a while. I saw about 30 bald eagles one winter when we were putting the beaver carcusses out on the ice.

I was fishing one day and catching perch and I was throwing them out for the gulls. Had one of those fish catching birds (I forgot the name right now but I know it wasn't a fish eagle) anyways he grabbed it and the bald eagle saw that and took off from the nest and chased after him. They got ina little mid air fight but the bald eagle just eventually let it go.

Id have to say the weirdest animal I ever saw was a jet black fox. Another time in the woods a fawn was following me and my dad around while we were scouting a state lands.

I have had some pretty odd experiences and some close encounters. Pepper sprayed a sow bear climbing my stand, had a cub sniffing my leg through my blind, had a bull moose walk within petting distance right past me staring me in the eye and grunting every step ( i actually dialed my cell phone home and held the phone out, the moose grunting was saved on my message manager) witnessed a cow elk fight off 2 yotes as they were trying to seperate her from her calf. My favorite thing in the word is to watch squirrels actually. I dam near fall out of my tree laughing when they are fighting with one another and also like when they come up into the stand and suddenly realize what you are.
