[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 2889050, member: 120066"] I can’t personally relate to mountain lions or bear encounters while hunting. It gives me the shakes just thinking about some of these stories. I can relate to the human and other encounters while hunting. I do know that permanent tree stands and towers need to be approached with caution and awareness. Two quick encounters come to mind. One was a permanent large stand almost 30’ up in a huge popular tree. It was a bit scary just climbing into this stand especially in the dark. Climbed up early and poked my head above the platform to be greeted by a huge raccoon literally a few inches from my face. It hissed and bristled and I surrendered the stand to the coon. The other encounter was in an old Texas tower blind. Climbed in before daylight and opened up the windows. One was already open. I sat for a few hours without seeing a quality buck. Decided to head back to the truck and started closing the windows (wooden hatches). When lifting the one that was open when I arrived, I heard some buzzing and found there were literally hundreds of the meanest looking huge yellow jackets nesting under the window cover. Thank God it was cold that morning. They were now awake and looking for what was disturbing their nest. Lucky to escape that one. [/QUOTE]
