Worst fears while hunting.

[cjcj]

Mine are getting blindsided by a swarm of them "killer bees" I feel I am a bad ass at most everything especially with a gun or knife in my hand but I would be in deep shit against them bees....even though I am not allergic to anything..

 

[guppie9]

Getting jumped by a bear and not having enough time to get my rifle up. I think that getting eaten alive by anything has got to be a horrible way to go.

 

[Bambistew]

Falling in a big hole between boulders and never being found...

 

[ringer]

Getting the squirts just as my elk is coming in range at last light on the last day of the hunt. Too much bacon grease and that very thing happened to me two years ago after hiking hard for five days. I will just take extra jeans next hunt and let the shit and arrow fly at the same time.

That somebody will raid my hidden stash of cold beer.

 

[Washington Hunter]

My ATV won't start, or will get a hole in a tire so large that it can't be plugged.

Being eaten by a dinosaur or shot by an out of stater...

 

[Ithaca 37]

Watching two identical B&C Bighorn rams and trying to decide which is biggest.

Burning alive after a super cub crash would kinda suck, but would probably have to say something similar to Bambi's post would be more likely. Living for 2 weeks drinking my own pee just to die anyway would be a real bummer.

 

[Calif. Hunter]

I'd go along with the worst being eaten or trapped and burned to death....

 

[MarvB]

...being killed by an exploding bandsaw....course I'd be dead so what the fugg does it matter....

 

[Erik in AK]

Getting caught by gravity with no dirt under me. I always seem to end up hanging on by my fingernails somewhere....

Falling through the ice while rabbit hunting. the thought of drowning doesnt exactly make me happy. otherwise no worries.

That I have to resort to eating Clif Bars for 3 days and the resulting constipation.

 

[cjcj]

Whats a "clif bar"?

 

[Washington Hunter]

They're energy bars. I love them, but just for a snack while hunting. Two a day would be my limit.

 

[1_pointer]

WH is right. Great for extended energy and don't taste too bad, but too many a day stops up the works. Elk hunting last year we stayed a day later than expected and only had clif bars, PB, and tortillas. Funny thing is I never really got that hungry. Guess 'cause I knew I couldn't eat. But once back at the camp trailer and put a hurtin' on about 2# of Sitka steaks.

 

[Ten Bears]

Gettin' shot by some moran that doesn't know his/her head from a (fill in the blank).

 

[TheTone]

I would have thought flat tires or running out of gas would be a fear of yours Ten Bears .

Maybe I'm weird but I've never really been scared while out hunting. The Clif bar thing is interesting. I can't say I've ever had more than one a day, although they are kind of a staple of my hunting food. Not sure I need to find out about there "clogging" abilities.

...getting lost & freezing to death.
