That is really cool wish I had found it^ I put up a bow blind in an area I also thought was remote. 15 feet in the air the second or third time I ever sat there looking up in the trees was tractor seat mounted on top a tree branch. It was about 20 feet higher in the old oak tree than I was. Who knows how old it was good to know someone else thought it was a good spot.

I have not really found anything unusual, but I have seen UFO's. I have seen a large flying object moving slowly close enough to the ground that I could see a greenish/blue tint coming from what I assumed to be windows.......little or no sound. I have seen (on the same lease) an object of some sort hovering and then making twist and turns fairly close to the ground before disappearing that no aircraft in the US that I know of anyway is capable of. And yes, I was sober. The first object I saw was by myself, but two other lease buddies saw the same type object the week before and another lease buddy was with me and witnessed the second object which we first both thought was a helicopter until it started diving and darting.
How come everybody I meet is a deer hunting expert?

Was this near Stephenville? Check out youtube, 'Stephenville UFO's'.

Found my wedding ring the day after losing it. Was digging frost out of the freezer outside bare handed then shook my hands in pain. Noticed my ring was gone a little later. Walked up and down path to my deer stand at night then searched camp. Didn't find it till next morning. It flew about 20 yards. Thought I was gonna have to explain to my wife of less than a year I lost my ring.

Black powder cap and ball colt revolver .36 caliber pistol. The pistol was rusted solid..the grips were like powder rotted wood.it was loaded and the hammer was pulled back.
I found it when I was a boy in the 1960's in Juno,Tx.
I was sitting on a rock ledge over looking a canyon deer hunting..I happened to look down into the large rock I was sitting on that had a large long wide crack along it.I saw a rusted thing towards the bottom of the crack in the rock at the ground line.I climbed down the rock to the ground.I was able to dig under the rock crack at the soil line and pull it out that way..I still have that old thing..still rusted solid..you can see the lead balls in the cylinder.

There were several WASP trainer centers for woman pilots in Texas during the wars. Maybe, that's where it came from as they would not publish crashes because of political correctness issues of the time.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

I'm talking TRASHY....the first three or four times I flipped through them I was shocked! Anyway, I dont want to throw them out because they're not mine and it wouldnt be right...LOL I think some buddies on the lease are paying me back for some pranks played last season...

Brother and I were poking around a creepy, abandoned "seasonal worker" home on the edge of our property when we were teenagers. Found an old stove inside the house so I pulled open the warmer drawer to see if the prior occupants left any cool stuff inside.
When I cracked the drawer, two ringtail cats leapt out and made a run for it. Pretty sure I pissed my pants.

I've found a large lock blade pocket knife on the lease. A box of .243 shells and rattling horns in my stand, a rusted pair of fencing pliers in an old barn on another lease and a $20.00 bill between some rocks at a lake.

While hunting with the family we have found numerous Indian arrow heads, spear heads, and other tools.
While hunting at work I have seen: 1000's of illegal aliens, 10's of thousands of pounds of marijuana, maybe a hundred pounds of coke, guns, knives, ID cards, wallets chocked full of money, crashed cars, burglarized hunting cabins, mutilated calves and deer, poachers (yes in the act, yes I arrested them. . . no they werent happy), saved a couple of lives, had a helicopted pin people down while I rode in like the cavalry on my ATV, raided hotel rooms / houses. . . and a couple antler sheds. Sounds like a fun but risky job. Kudos to you for protecting our border. Thanks

About 8 or 9 years ago I hunted in Mills County just south of Mullin about 7 miles south. The spot I was hunting overlooked a flat. I was setting in a grove of live oak trees late one evening and a little before dusk a huge owl lands in the top of the tree I'm setting under and I sat there and watched him for at least a couple minutes. Down in the flat about 75 yards away another huge owl land in an oak tree. about 45 seconds later both owls take flight towards each other and meet in mid air and go to fighting in mid air like 2 fighting roosters. The fight lasted about 20 seconds or so and the smaller of the 2 darts down toward the ground and flies off as he was getting his butt kicked by the bigger owl. The bigger owl that landed in the tree I was setting under was close to 2 feet tall. That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen while hunting.
