Have you ever been attacked by a wild bore wile detecting in the woods?

No I can't say that I have but I was was set upon by an angry female when I got home from detecting. Does that count?

 

[D&P-OR]

I got attacked by an angry humming bird out in the woods once!----I think it thought I was a real bore! ---If you believe that one--I got some swamp land in FL I want to talk to you about!

 

[Woodchuck]

CAN"T SAY I EVER SAW A BORE? BUT WOULD NOT WANT TO RUN INTO A ANGRY BOAR! LOL

Hi Gunnar, I actually have many years ago been atacked by a Sow that had a bunch of little ones, and she meant business as she came charging into the small clearing my buddy and I had just stept into. Lucky for us there were some pine saplings just big enough for us to shinny up just in time to be clear of her. We literally had to drop our detectors and make our run for the trees before she could nail one of us,She intered the clearing from some underbrush on a full run and we near bout didn't make it to a tree. We were both packing pistols and my Buddy wanterd to shoot her but I talked him out of it. We agreed we didn't really want to orphan her little ones so we quietly waited a few minutes and she went back into the woods.We naturally finished our trek to our dig spot with watchful eyes/ears for her return and also for any handy saplings /or whatever to swing into. Like Mama Bears, the Mama "Hawgs" are the more serious threat, though in truth I am very weary of the Boar "hawgs" as well. HH, Charlie

I don't think I can top that one!-----This thread sure ain't boring!

 

[John(Tx)]

n/t

 

[fowlercharles]

LOL,Mudpuppy,I don't think that saying/legend said anything about him picking up a penny, but instead said he was "dumping" something and the hawgs got wind of it and ate him and all of what he was dumping. I know ,,,, "gross" but that's the way it is many times with "them ole sayings" so all you can do is lol some more! HH, Charlie

 

[osgood]

Fowlers, are you saying he wasn't discriminating, or the hogs weren't? CO

 

[fowlercharles]

Hi Osgood, Oh for sure, hawgs don't discriminate! They never slow down enough when eating to give it a thought.I once saw some B-head feed a big hawg a hot dog bun loaded with a lit cigar in it,The hawg never even grunted out of tune. That should conjure up in some minds a possible cartoon thought as to what may have taken place after a couple of minutes, but absolutely nothing the least "noticable" happened. HH, Charlie

 

[joekool]

attacked by ants at night , I have

 

[fowlercharles]

Hi Joekool, me too and that wound up my night digging forever.Lol, that is surely one of the dumbest things I ever did. They are bad enough in broad daylight, but to go in the middle of night is asking for it! HH, Charlie

 

[D&P-OR]

Y'all don't like those fire ants????-----Why is it that the good targets are (almost) always in the middle of a ant nest or under a BIG pile of dog poop??

 

[mudpuppy]

Take a couple of baby hawgs, train them to dig up metal...like those fellas in France train them to hunt for truffles, I bet a guy could train a pig to hunt for gold and silver, and leave the pulltabs and bottlecaps behind...Pigs are real smart you know...just take them out and let them root around in a soccer field or ball park or totlot, and then take them home and wait for them to take a dump, bingo! an automatic coin washer too! Man! I always have the best ideas at 4am!

[osgood]

mud, that is interesting , of course you could imagine the divot! 've heard they train bees to find explosive residues by scent. .CO

 

[Dan-Pa.]

Snakes, spiders, varmits, skeeters and above all two legged critters that are looking for their next fix can be a problem so do be viglilant and stay alert to the area around you...hunting with a buddy is certainly a plus.

 

[jmaryt]

yeah! the 2 legged ones are the nastiest!
many things going on "upstairs" i would suspect!
just sayin'

(h.h.!)

[fowlercharles]

Absolutely for sure Dan! The 2 legged critters are far more dangerous than any of the others, and they can turn up at the least expected and unprepared for moments.. I have happened upon 2 burned out vehicles in the middle of nowhere in the woods, the last one of which was fired up while I was only a few yards distant. No doubt the 2 legged critters doing the firing up had no idea I was anywhere around and so far as I know lit out soon as they had got a blaze going.Had I stumbled up closer, sooner and possibly have been able to ID someone, it may well could have been a different story. As it was, soon as I realized what was going on and the possible danger I was in I hauled butt back to my truck and drove to a safer spot on a hill and watched the Chevy"BLAZER" do just that, until it exploded in a big ball of flame..I was far more rattled at all that than when the Sow with the little ones put me and my buddy up a tree."Being careful out there" ain't no BS, but some serious stuff, no matter where you are!
