Only way to scare a badger is to make lovey, lovey, come here big boy sounds. He'll get out of there in a hurry.

For me, it's aliens that I worry about.

It doesn't even need to be dark, I was stalking a group of does a couple of years back in tall grass and had a covey of quail explode out in front of me. Scared the crap out of me and ruined my stalk. I've run into porcupines, deer and hogs on the way to a blind, that will wake you up in the AM! Scrambled up a herd of Aoudad one time at my friend's ranch, it was pandemonium of hooves over rocks, running right past me out of a big cedar clump. My heart didn't stop beating hard until after first light!

For me, it's aliens that I worry about. I didn’t want to say anything. Thought I was the only one.

These days I have, more than once, walked into a mess of pigs when coming back from afternoon hunting.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

Waking up a covey of quail on the way to the blind will get anyone's heart racing. Yes! This just happened to me yesterday evening walking to my feeder to pull camera card and a covey of about 10 blew up out of nowhere and scared the bejeezus out of me. Always does. Wife was laughing her butt off 30-40 yards behind me. Was good to see that big of a covey though. Them and coachwhips, especially when the dang things are coiled up at a gate and take off hauling legless a$$ soon as you get right on top of them!

Snakes are what I worry about. Can't stand them. I lived in Alaska for several years and the best thing about it was I could walk wherever I wanted and know for certain I wasn't going to run into a snake. I would much rather bump into an angry grizzly than a calm garter snake.
