The first day I ever went deer hunting. I had my Ben Pearson Gamester a Quickee quiver with four half sharpened and exposed Bear broadheads, a 14 year old on an adventure. Heading for where i wanted to hunt I saw a huge buck with crazy antlers an hour before sunup. i froze in my tracks, pinned down in a low spot in the grass. I could tell that it turned to look at me when I repositioned myself because my knees were getting sore, but I stayed low and motionless. Finally when it was getting lighter I thought it was time for a stalk. I gained 15 yards on it in the twilight just to see it was a giant dead cottonwood tree on a hill a half mile away. Later as the sun was coming up, it got windy and I got cold sitting in my blind made with branches a burlap curtain, so I started a fire. After a while I could not reach anymore handy sticks so I started robbing them from my blind. Burlap burns good. Then without warning a duck came off the river miscalculated his flight and took himself half out of the air when he hit tree branches over my head. It scared me half to death. That was real and it was the only game I saw that morning. Apparently I have had the mad cow for years.

Man, of all the austere knowledge and talent on this site and here nobody has pointed out the obvious!

Deer are sub-terrainian. The have tunnels all through the woods...and they just really do pop up places and then disappear again...without a sound!

No, really!!! How else can you explain there are 6" of dried popcorn leaves everywhere and every chipmunk sounds like an elephant...and then out of nowhere, there stands a deer looking straight at you?

Tunnels! I'm tellin ya now, gospel! Just like in Nam... networks of tunnels everywhere and them danged ungulates just ease on up outa the ground and "appear"... and when you raise your binocs, they just ooze back on down right where the stump was!

Trust me. I'd not blow smoke on sumpin this important...

:rolleyes:

I was so convinced I saw a polar bear in central Indiana when I was a teenager (on a campout) even my buddies ran away from it with me. The next morning we found a large white-boled Sycamore tree where tracks should have been!

We didn't notice the Sycamore tree when it was dark.

Ninja Deer...they seem to fade into the darkness of the tree-shadow while evertempting to cause you...well you know....it's there but it ain't!

You have all heard of the mystical jackalope, what would you call a cross between a woodchuck and a whitetail. Apparently Iowa has a bunch of them. I have seen some mysterious large holes around here.

Wishful thinking sounds right to me

Some of you guys are clever, lol.

Deer are only a shade darker than air so as far as I am concerned, it is always deer. They just fade out.

How about deermentia or schiz-doe-phrania? I'm just glad I'm not the only one who suffers from it.

I don't know what it's called, but my 41 year old son has a bad case of it.

I have seen drift logs on a shore line that looked a lot like a deer shape, and when I walked up to them found bullet holes in them.
