A 300+ lb wild hog charged me while I was hiking on my hunting property. A lot of dangerous animals won't come right out and charge you, these bastards will. I became very intimate with a tree, and he became very intimate with some bullets.
Another time I came upon three babies along my fence line. I did not have a gun with me, and had no intention of meeting their mother... I turned around and walked (quickly) away
Camping vacation, kids are in the trailer playing video games and husband and I are sitting at the campfire having a little night cap ... into the camp wanders a band of skunks. My kids are REALLY loud, particularly the oldest one. You think that isn't some scary shit, having the damp little noses of skunks snuffling your bare foot when you've just whispered to your kid "skunks, we've got skunks here, keep it down!" and you have a teenager whose more than a little nuts???
Okay, it's not a wild boar, cape buffalo or wolf, but my scariest animal interaction
Hats off to those of you who have had some truly amazing, adrenalized life experiences!
Agreed I was a watcher on a drive during buck season in PA, and the drivers pushed out a sow and four cubs. She must have been about 450lbs and she came through the laurel right up to me. I figured I was a goner, I was carrying a 6mm at the time. She snorted, shook her head and bounded off down over the hillside.
