Ever been busted?

Have you ever been on a predator stand and been busted by an unintended critter or critters? I got set up this morning with my new PM4 in my neighbor's back 100. Not another critter in sight. I get back about 150 yards from my call and bury myself in the brush. Within 2 minutes of running the call I had a stampede of cattle running right at my call. They came out of a draw and were completely out of sight. I had to make a mad dash to save my brand new PM4 from being trampled. Needless to say it was game over for the morning. I have had hawks and other birds of pry come at me when using mouth calls and had a doe charge in after a fawn in distress but concerned cattle will kill a stand pretty fast. Have any of you ever had some critter or critters totally ruin your hunt due to curiosity?

Had a hawk dive in on the caller once. Didn't really ruin the hunt but it was interesting.

Yes, the Mrs. caught me on here again this morning, she thought I was doing taxes.
Oh busted on the stand..... yeah a few times there too. I am trying to figure out if Ravens are helpful or are telling the world that I am there

Have had hawks and owls fly off with the decoy. That pretty much ruins a set.

About a billion times. The ones that get me are when I cant figure out how or why.

Had a Hawk attack my Mojo decoy one day while I was on stand. It tried to pick it up twice before giving up.
