Settle into the ground blinde at 6:00 this morning. Around 6:30 I hear footsteps coming up behind me (following the trail I take to the blind. I think Good.. They're moving in early this morning. Footsteps getting closer.. It's pitch black. I can hear breathing.. Getting louder. I stand up grab my 9mm (simultaneously p!ssing myself).. It sticks its nose INSIDE THE BLIND at the bottom sniffing around (still can't see anything). I kick at the edge of the blind several times, possibly screaming like a 9yo girl and it's gone.. WTH do yall think it was?? I think either a curious deer, coyote, maybe even manbearpig.. I did have a buck urine drag to somewhat cover my scent on the way in. What do yall think??

Think I would turned a flashlight on and seen personally. At least you didn't go shooting a clip load of 9mm at it. Our ranch has sheep dog on it and I had one do that last year to me. Scared the crap out of me to.

Did you have a mag with more than nine rounds in your paw? Did you feel the need for high cap mag?
Oh, I gotcha! BOO!

Had the same thing happen to me, not as close, but close enough where I almost had to change my drawers lol

that's funny right there.
For the last 4 months I've been to my feeder 5 times. The night after I fill/work on it a coyote shows up every single time. he also was there two nights before I was there last time, it has to walk right by where I was sitting in a lawn chair. After seeing the latest pics I'm a little un-easy about just sitting there in a chair with my back turned away from the trail it uses

Man I thought a raccoon was trying to get in my ground blind one time then this giant centipede came in and scared the crap out of me. I cut him in half with my BushMonkey and his front end took off out of the blind. About an hour later the front half came back in and I chopped it up into pieces. This thing was about 6 or so inches long and sound like a dang deer walking in the woods.
This is the back half that didn't run off

Last Friday I show up after dark and want to check the feeders. So I take Silas the new pup and walk out into the woods. I've only had this dog less than a week and it's the first time I've had him outside off the leash, so I'm wondering whether he'll run off or stay with me. I'm standing underneath this feeder looking up at the spinner when this coon leans over from above me and looks down less than two feet from my head. He asks me what I'm doing messing with his feeder, but doesn't wait around for a response....he jumps off the feeder and lands with enough of a thud to catch the attention of the pup, and takes off into the brush, with the pup chasing right behind. Right then I'm wondering whether I'll ever get the dog back. The coon can't run very fast since he's so fat from eating corn, but he's just faster than the dog, at least fast enough to find a tree to climb. The dog comes back and everyone is happy, except the coon that issued a complaint to management because he can't enjoy a quiet dinner.
