Was in the woods hanging a cam today when I heard some rustling behind me.. I turned around and saw a fawn running about 5 or 10 feet away. That was cool, but then i heard another rustle and expected another fawn.but what came through was a mature fisher dogging that fawn. It ran right up my scrape tree when it heard me and then buggered off when it saw me.
The cam that took this pic is where I was standing and the tree on the right is where the fisher imbed
Wild...

Wild indeed! Looks like a little bear.

Experiences like that are what make being an outdoorsman so fun.

Re: Rare experience scouting today
Agreed Trout.
Had an interesting one scouting in summer last year. Grass was like 7 feet tall and thick so couldn't see much. There were these tunnels running through it that went up about waist high. I was walking through them and stopped in a small opening. Then I hear something barreling toward me and I have no idea what it is because the grass was too thick and high to see. I could see the tops of the grass wiggling and then whatever it was cut around me. Then there was another, same thing, but it was literally running at me this time. A mangy-looking coyote bursts out of the grass 5 yards away, glances at me, cuts diagonally and is gone in an eye blink. Must have been chasing a deer but it was a crazy experience

Re: Rare experience scouting today
It’s funny cause I have always seen the craziest stuff while I’m out just scouting with no weapon. For decades I have been trying to arrow a jaguarundi. Had a couple pics but have never even laid eyes on one. Then one day scouting there is one just sitting on the bank of the creek eating a fish 15 yards away without a care in the world. Have yet to see another one!
In case anyone is curious what the heck I’m talking about here is a pic of the elusive jaguarundi

Re: Rare experience scouting today
Funny you say that Boogie because I wasn't packing that day either. Always a bit unnerving when you got something barreling straight at you.
