Ok, here's a story from a while back from when I first started deer hunting.
My uncle and I went deer hunting down in the southern tier of New York down by Cortland where we hunted for many years and made our way to a spot on top of a small ridge that ran directly through the middle of the woods in a hot spot the deer had moved through on a daily basis. We were pretty excited about the spot and set up in a ground blind we had made.
It started to get light and it was a little foggy that morning so our visiblility was low at the first part of the morning. As we waited we noticed some movement to our right and upon further investigation we saw that the movement had a bright orange hat on it's head. It was another hunter making his way directly towards us. I know we all hate that feeling when we are set up and had been quiet and still for about an hour before daylight and then someone who decides to get up late and walk through the woods comes right to where you are. Well, we sat there and watched him come towards us and then he stopped about 50 yds or so in front of us. My uncle looked at me with and then looked back at him and saw something strange looking that this guy was doing.
The other hunter was looking around all suspiciously from left to right, front to back and so forth and we wondered what he was up to? So as we watched him for about a minute or so he placed his gun up against the tree and he dropped his pants, squatted and grabbed a tree. He had # 2 on his mind. So my uncle looks at me and whispers "Do you wanna see something funny" and of course I did! So my uncle waits for this guy to get it about half way out (hope this isn't too gross lol) and then howls and yelps like a coyote (my uncle has the most realistic howl I've ever heard!). The guy immediately jumps up and pulls up his pants while it was still coming out!!!! LMAO! I couldn't believe what I saw. This guy had a load in his pants, grabbed his gun real quick like and started quickly walking directly away from us (kinda like those ladies in the mall that are mall walkers), arms straight to the side swinging like crazy and his feet almost couldn't keep up with him.
We laughed so hard and it really made the event much better than what we thought it would have turned out to be. Guess that guy probably didn't get anything that morning as I'm sure every deer within a square mile of him would have picked up his ehhum.."scent". You should have seen it... try it sometime if you ever are in the situation... I'd think that just about everyone would probably react the same way and you're guaranteed to get a good laugh from it.
Just thought I'd share that one around the campfire with y'all.
