What is it with the frickin llamas. A couple of years ago my cousin and I where working our way threw some timber towards a clearing when I spotted movement up ahead of us. It ended up being 3 frickin llamas. I guess the next day my hunting partner and my cousin ran into a guy who was looking for his llama's. I guess they had gotten away from him a couple of months before.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

Myself and a buddy of mine were elk scouting back in the early 90s stopped to go down a gated road and came across an emu it was one hell of a big bird,well my buddy pulled out his .41 mag and was going to shoot it and i said lets try to catch it we cornnered it on a high bank i grabed its legs he grabed its body and man the fight was on it starts kicking iam holding the legs with all i had while looking at the huge spurs on its legs thinking if i let go we toast the thing is swinging it head around smacking my buddy in the face iam laughing so hard iam crying we finely get to the ground i look at my buddy and he has one hell of a bloody nose were covered in mud we wrapped the thing in a tarp when we get to the truck it looked like a christmas package hog tied and all.We went down to the main road and started to stop at the houses and found the owner.To this day when i think about it i laugh to myself its one memory i will never forget and one of the wierdest things i have found in the woods. 
 
 
 

That is about the funniest thing I have ever read.  Being in the bird business, I can relate, having had a peacock beat the crap out of me.  THAT WAS the hardest I have laughed almost ever.

Went to take care of business while camping in the blues.  Found a few morals and an area that looked like someone had buried something large recently.  Someone had driven to this spot and buried something you could tell from the tracks.  Went back to camp and grabbed a shovel and some help.  I was spooked already....then we uncovered a blanket with something wrapped in it.  This is when I stopped digging....

Drove on down the road and waved down a game warden.  He put his rubber gloves on and poked at it and said he could feel ribs, so this wasnt his juridiction unless it was a game animal.  He waited for the sheriffe to show and to make a long story short, someone had wrapped their lab in a polarfleece blanket and buried way out in the woods.  Weird.....

I was about 10 miles off the road up out of Curlew. I stopped to take a drink of water and I looked to my left and found a boot just sitting there. I looked around for the other one but did not find any trace of anything man made. The weird part was, it was old, but looked like it had not been chewed on at all.

I live near Sequim, so I have to go out into the woods so I can find 'normal'.
Actually, at a buddy's cattle ranch in another state there are lots of 'meteorites'.  Turned out that these 'meteorites' are actually cannonballs from a battle in the early 1800's.  We think it is the site of a battlefield lost to time.  So he calls them meteorites so the state and archaeologists won't come take his land from him.
So that show Meteorite Men is just a crock :dunno: there just finding old cannonballs :mor: :lol4:

Not sure if this counts....

We were flying helicopter tours up out of the Baker Lake Resort in 1990. The pilot, Jack, and I went for a flight one hot day. We were flying up a creek that came into the north west side of the lake and as we popped over a hill, there was 3 women. All nekkid and skinny dipping. One tried to hide behind a log that was coming down off the bank, but her butt stuck out one side, and her upper body out the other. Kinda funny. The other two just waved as we flew over.  :chuckle:

Came around a corner on a road and there was a naked guy along the timber edge.  He ran off into the brush. Never did see any vehicle and not sure what he was doing way up there.

I climbed Lassen Peak (11k+ but easy) in the afternoon once to see the sun go down on one side and the full moon come up on the other (very cool - if you get the opportunity you should do it).  Anyway, walking down in the dark, the moon was so bright above timberline we didn't need to use headlamps.  We passed some people coming up in the dark - like 5 or 6 of them, both men and women - completely naked except for boots and backpacks.  We just passed them and nodded but nobody said a word.  We walked for another hour or so in kind of a hurry to get out of there so no one was talking.  When we got back to the pickup, one of the guys said "Did anyone else see that?"  Even though it was an hour later and no one had spoken a word everyone knew what he was talking about and we all just doubled over laughing.

I wasn't hunting but I was shooting my bow on a 3d course that our neighbors have and out of nowhere an emu came running by. It turns out that it got out of its cage or fence from a farm a few miles away. They couldn't catch it so they had to shoot it. I almost shot it with my bow but I was so shocked to see it I didn't really do anything! I thought I was going to be attacked by a giant bird!
Sorry about my stupid profile name. Made it when I was a high school idiot.

When I was a kid in the 70s I was walking along a highway to a friend's house outside of Pullman.  I'd jump down into the drainage ditch when a car would come by.  At one point I saw a stick coming out of the side of the ditch and decided to pull it out.  The stick turned out to be a dried up dead cat leg and when I pulled the entire cat pulled out of its skin.  It scared me bad and I couldn't run fast enough.  Bad smell too.
