I sleep with ear plugs now. Too many things waking me up with their rustling.

When Billy Bob's Yeti does finally come calling, I'll die peacefully.

I hope I can forget the first part of this story before my next hang. I don't feel safe in the house right now!!!

ROTFL! Just got back from a couple of nights in the woods, and had a possum skitter through dry leaves Friday night. I swear until the headlight picked him out I was convinced there was a 12 foot tall bear barreling towards the hammock. Your story telling is priceless.

I remember watching The Blair Witch Project as a teenager. The next morning I went hunting with my dad. Walking to my treestand alone in the pre-dawn darkness, I was more scared than ever in my life. Ha!

same here, altho i was in my 20s and deer hunting alone. I thought the whole Blair Witch thing was stupid, boring movie, but that morning I sat under my favorite pine tree shining my flashlight on every sound I heard convinced me otherwise lol

I don't know about possum or fox, but the chipmunks of north central PA sound like a herd of Elk day or night

I love your story as this is what I go through evey time I take my wife. At 11 thousand feet in CO is was something going under her hammock I only go to shine my light on her and found her out of her hammock looking to see what was under her. The next time out we hiked past a prison during the trip and about 2:00am she thought she heard a prisoner. It is amazing how we allow are minds to create after dark. Keep the stories coming.
