My weekend hunting experience - Nubblies.net Forums

Nathan · 05-02-2004, 06:39 PM

This weekend, me and my dad went to upper, lower michigan to go turkey hunting, like we do once every year. That is about all the background you need, ill jump straight to the true story ive been sending all of my friends on the internet since ive gotten home, so here it is.

Man, listen to this. Yesterday evening me and my dad were out hunting, in seperate spots. I was just chilling there, about 10 minutes i would use my turkey call. Every so often I would hear leaves or something rustle behind me, I was chilling with my back to a forest, and a field in front of me. I finally turn around slowly to see whats making the noise, and theres a bobcat about 5 feet behind me just staring at me. I didn't know what to do.. so I just stared back at it and tried not to move, I had full camo on and everything so it might not have known I was a person. Finally it started walking away, but kept turning to look at me the whole time. I was paranoid the rest of the night it might come back. I assume it heard the turkey call, and thought I was a turkey, and was sneaking up behind me to try to get an easy meal.

Pretty crazy shit huh? Heres a link for those of you that don't know what bobcats are. They actually aren't that big, probably about 10 pounds or so bigger then the average house cat.

too bad you didn't shoot it

It would have looked awesome stuffed in your room.

Nathan · 05-02-2004, 06:52 PM

Eh I definetely could have. I had a 12 gauge right next to me... although that woulda ruined its face, or its side, and made a bad stuffed animal.

I just thought it was kinda cool, you always know these types of animals are in the forest, but you never see them. Just like supposidly theres bears all over the northern michigan forests, ive never seen one.

Messed up it's face? Now the only thing cooler than a stuffed bobcat is a stuffed bobcat with it's head blown off.

the Butcher · 05-03-2004, 12:58 AM

Wrong. There are a lot of things cooler than a bobcat with his face messed up, such as your face messed up. When are we going to box bitch?

Whino · 05-03-2004, 04:42 AM

Aight that’s a crazy story, i def would have shoot it, but not to make a stuffed animal just cause i like to shot things. Schroeder, at first I didn’t really get it but i think i do now. You just like to pretend to be a douche, that’s why you pick the name of the gayest peanuts characters. And you also have gambit as your aviator. That’s funny cause nobody likes gambit or Schroeder and you picked them both.

Orgazmo · 05-03-2004, 03:40 PM

Would you have been more freaked out if there was an Ostrich behind you? We've already discussed the potential of an Ostrich/Bobcat fight.

Ironic Mustache · 11-08-2007, 11:51 AM

I've heard of these things before... You say they're called forrests? With tress and stuff?

Mr. Blonde · 11-08-2007, 01:00 PM

wtf, bumpage?

i miss forests...a lot. i might hightail up to one in northern AZ for the weekend to go camping and hiking...i've got nothing better to do.

Ironic Mustache · 11-08-2007, 01:07 PM

Sorry, I have a very limited amount of threads I can reply to as many as possible.

I remember forrests vaguely when I lived in Oregon when I was 8, but that was damn near twenty years ago and now almost seem like it was all in my mind. I just can't grasp the concept of a sprawling forrest. Where would it fit amongst the traffic, smog, and high-rises? Forrests are a thing of the past. Don't even get me started on tropical rain forrrests, they're the worst of all.

have you tried just typing the url nubblies.net?

Ironic Mustache · 11-08-2007, 02:33 PM

"Websense" blocks me on all websites that it recognizes as Public Forums, so unless there were some way to trick it into thinking it wasn't, I'm kind of screwed. I do have access to 3 or 4 others, but the majority of them are blocked.

Repugnant Abomination · 11-08-2007, 03:05 PM

Shit, I'm surrounded by forrests. Whenever I go somewhere like Texas where everything is flat I feel like I'm in a wasteland.

Ironic Mustache · 11-08-2007, 03:41 PM

That's how I remember Oregon being. How many people do you know that working in paper mills or for logging companies?

Repugnant Abomination · 11-08-2007, 03:48 PM

That's an old stereotype...Then again I live in a very liberal, fine arts town. I suspect in eastern Oregon you would see a lot of that.

But I love the forrests and mountains. I don't think I could live anywhere that doesn't have them.

Mr. Blonde · 11-08-2007, 04:04 PM

I want to go to Oregon sometime.

Ironic Mustache · 11-08-2007, 04:10 PM

I didn't know that was a stereotype actually... I said that because my uncle and cousin both worked for a paper mill, and you can't take a shit without seeing logging trucks driving past. I was in Northern Oregon just inside the Washington border. I actually had to drive into Washington briefly to get to the town. I'd be surprised if you've heard of it (Clatskanie), but it was fairly close to Longview which is a little more well known.

Repugnant Abomination · 11-08-2007, 04:23 PM

Nah. Like I said, a good portion of Oregon is rural. The only places that really matter are Portland, Eugene, Salem, Medford, and Ashland. There are some pretty towns on the coast, if you're into some most historical aspects of the state. There's a lot of old light houses, for example, and supposed haunted hotels and shit. But basically the logging industry has been cut back a lot, because of all the conservation laws.

Ironic Mustache · 11-08-2007, 05:06 PM

I say cut all them bitches down and make Oregon the new Arizona.
