I was bear hunting about 6 miles in a wilderness area hiking on a pretty popular area. Walked pretty much right into a young lady who was completely naked on the trail while her guy was fishing on the rio a few hundred yards away. It was weird. Had to be around 40 years ago, a buddy and I went bank fishing along the shore lines of Hickory Creek Park on lake Lewisville. We walk around this one point and low and behold there were two guys and a pretty good looking healthy gal butt azz naked around 30-40 feet out, in about 2 1/2' of water water doing the hokey pokey We watched them for about a minute, they knew we were there and it was obvious they could have cared less. Well my buddy Al says lets go in and join them, me nope we did not get an invite but you go ahead, he decide not to also.

About 15 years ago, I was with a friend who was a wildlife photographer and we were deep in a remote area of the Sam Houston National Forest. We heard something moving off to the right, then a low grumbling which sounded like it was coming out of a laid down tree. Looking towards that tree, we saw something moving behind it and was covered with moss. The grumbling resumed, when the "something" rose up from behind the stump. I heard the camera go off and my friend said we better leave. He got this picture of that "something"!

I was catfishing on Granger about a decade back. Dead calm evening, right before dark. I heard this buzzing; almost electrical buzzing noise and it was getting closer. A very large swarm of bees, about the size of a pickup truck went right over my head. Fast and on a mission. they passed within about ten feet of me. Not "in the woods" but I was driving down I10 out near Junction and saw what I thought was smoke drifting across the road, also about the size of a truck. When I hit it I realized that it was a swarm of bees. It sounded like a thousand little firecracker popping as I went through it, my truck was thoroughly slimed, I bet I killed thousands of them.

Yep, I can relate! many years ago, was out in my garden in the hill country, heard this strange buzzing sounds, and yes a big swarm of bees just passed over me when i was there. I that moment i thought how small we are in the big world we live in! A new queen doing roll call heading to theyre new home! If my dad was still alive, he would have gottena bucket and starting beating on it making noise to attract the bees. Years ago they would rescue hives and try to collect a new colony to keep around the farm. Never saw it, heard its possible to catch them.
Those other posts about naked woman such, command pics, yet again, world is full of nuts! long as they stay the hell away from me!

last deer season I was sitting in my normal box stand overlooking several acres with 2 feeders (one left, one straight out, ~200 yards apart). I had several does & fawns at the left feeder, when I start hearing a doe snorting like crazy back in the brush between the two feeders, she was pitching a fit, all the other deer at the left feeder stood at attention but never moved. I was wondering if she caught my scent or saw my RTV tucked back in the brush behind the stand. All of a sudden out comes a half grown bobcat hauling with a big doe hot on it's heals blowing up & pawing the ground as she moved. Only took a few seconds for it to pass thru the clearing ... the doe stopped before hitting the brush on the other side but continued snorting/whistling for probably another 30 seconds before going back to feeding. A few seconds later her twin fawns came out to join her for at least a half hour milling around down to the other feeder. It was fun to watch and I wish I had been a bit quicker on getting my gun on the cat.

I was netting crabs, seashells and whatever on the beach with my young daughter when something rolled in the wave in front of me and I scooped up a human knee that had been cut clean just below and above the knee. Called the sheriff and they handled it from there.
Also watches a squirrel drag a 5 foot water snake out of a hole in a tree right above my boat while I was fishing on the Sabine. He had it behind the head and dragged it out on a limb over the river and shook it and dropped it back in the water.

Hunting hogs in the Sam Houston about 10 years or so ago I hear this "WHOOOOP!!!". Not aggressive sounding but just a nice long "WHOOOP!!"
My first thoughts are bigfoot hunters way back here 2 miles from any road. But nothing after that. Not another sound after that. The forest went quiet for awhile. Visibility is poor around me so I saw nothing and I could not hear anyone either. I didnt think too much about it until I started listening to some bigfoot calls on the internet a few days later. Very similar for sure.
Not sure what it was. However I have found a strange structure not too far away from that area. I have found another crazy tree structure in a different part of the Sam also. I wish I still had the pics. I may have posted them in years past when responding to similar threads.
Definitely strange!!!
GO TRUMP!

March 14, 2014 was our last trip to the Sam. Lots of activity near Kelly's Pond, and a charge by a 8ft tall hairy creature that was not happy we were there. We stop going to the Sam, simply because it has become too crowded with hunters, campers, and researchers. The number of people going in there has dramatically increase, but the foremost researcher in the Sam has agreed. He does brief trips to certain areas just to check on certain areas.

How about a frog half the size of my number 12 boot hiding in a sage bush 1/4 mile from the nearest stock tank on November 3rd in Twitty, Texas?

It was fun to watch and I wish I had been a bit quicker on getting my gun on the cat. I had doe with a fawn do almost the same thing one day when a domesticated cat (one of the ranch cats gone astray) walked out of the woods. That doe was right behind that cat stomping. The cat didn't seem to concerned with the seriousness of the situation, I thought I was going to have a front row seat to a kitty stomp.

When hunting in far NW New Mexico I can across an old footed bath tub. It was in pretty good shape. It was a long way from any road and in some pretty rough country. I always wondered how the heck it got there and why someone would leave it. It weighed a bunch and had to take significant effort to get it there.

An ostrich while hunting in East Texas when the bottom of the market for them dropped out and people turned them loose rather than feed them.

We found a push lawn mower in the mesquite brush at the ranch miles from the blacktop and 100 yards from the ranch roads. No idea how it got there.

Elk hunting Colorado a LONG time ago. I climbed a mountain and followed a game trail. Sat for awhile and saw nothing so I headed back. Found mountain lion tracks over mine. Never saw or heard anything.

Hunting New Mexico public land quite awhile back. Another hunter came along and asked if I had found Jesus. Nosy bastard.

Found a bunch of money near the border in South Texas. Went to pick it up and most of the bills would just crumble. US bills and Mexican. It was in a spot I would go to look for arrowheads, often. I'd say it must have been there 6-7 months, since I was in that area every year, and it wasn't there the time I was there before. I looked around and found a shredded back pack and some water bottles, but nothing else. Always wondered what the story was. Ended up with a couple hundred in salvageable bills. Some were buried into the dirt, more than halfway. Again, they would just crumble when touched. Very bizarre. I have found wallets with all sorts of identification, money, credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, and also wondered what the circumstances behind those being discarded, lost, or whatever else may have happened.
