Crazy morning...

[Goyaałé]

10:30am doe walks in front in front of me at 40 yards. She is in front of me cant draw yet. I'm ground hunting. She's 15 yards from my shooting lane. She stops. Looks to my left. Then I hear it. Bigfoot is walking through the woods. Jajajjajaja!! Snap, Crackle, Pop! Then I see him full camo. I'm thinking a hunter. Nope. Navy guy is romping through the woods lost. She stops right in front of me I can't move. She stares at him and walks off. He walks up to me and says can i ask you a question? I ask him. Are you guys out hear doing navigation drills? He says . Then i say And yes what's your question? He pulls out a map and asked what peak is he at. I get him squared away. Point him in the right direction. She comes back 20 minutes later. This time in a beeline straight toward me. I couldn't move she would have seen me. She stops 15 yards from me and stares at me for 5 minutes. We were eye to eye literally. She slowly walked away never came back.

Don't know. I was pissed for a moment. Then I realized he was directly in the direction of my missed shot the other day. Could've been all bad.....

They perform navigation training up there all year long. Surprised he asked you for help they generally avoid you when they come in contact. Whenever I have encountered them they go off trail at the point of contact and will not talk to you.

Second time I've talked to one of them. Once in late August and today. In August young guy asked me if I noticed him hiding. I did. Shoolk hands. Then we talked about my tree stand for like 20 minutes. Said he seen lots of stand and lots of cams.

Ugh... I sooo know that feeling of the deer being right damn there in front of you... but you can't do anything because they are looking right at you!


Told myself next time that happens I gotta just say EFF it and try to knock one up and get on target as fast as humanly possible.

There has to be a joke in here somewhere about sailors who can't navigate without a sextant.

C'mon Marines.

Hunting in California. Wow, just wow.

Damn Sailors need to get back on those grey hills and learn to stop running into other ones. Stay out of the woods squids and squeals!
There, happy now?

They are navy seal students, I had 2 walk 50yds from my stand last week, then 30 minutes later 20+ in a single file. None saw me and I could have hit them with a rock. I was hoping they would bump the deer around but nada.

lol navy seal must be lowering their standards , personal who can't read maps and can't see.. In combat they would be dead..

Nice that you pointed him in the right direction. Navy is not what it used to be ships won’t move when the fog rolls in! We used get underway with no tugs but did hit a bouy once in the way out!
