[QUOTE="BDub, post: 74655, member: 448"] Lots of dumb stuff has happened to me in the last 50 years but this fall I may have taken the cake. Four of us were pheasant hunting out in western North Dakota during the second weekend of the season. It was blowing about 25 mph and the birds were holding tight. We decided to work a small 15 acre field that had produced in the past. So we drove up to the downwind corner of the field and got the dogs out. Less than 50 feet from the truck my dog stopped and threw her nose up. Sure sign that birds are nearby. We all have hunted with Pepper enough to know that it was time to be ready. 100 yards later she slams on point. Sure enough a rooster gets up and I shoot it. Next thing you know birds are getting up all over. Pepper takes off after the downed bird when she goes on point again and the guns are going off. So I figured that I had better head towards the downed bird. Well I waded through some thick cover and all or a sudden I step on something that feels very soft and alive. I looked down and saw lots of black and white. I swear that I haven't moved that fast in 20 years. But of course I got sprayed real good. Luckily the wind was blowing most of the smell away. I rode back to the ranch in a T-shirt and my shorts. Everything else was in the back of the truck. [/QUOTE]
