Thread: Odd, unexpected and interesting things you have seen out hunting

Wisconsin deer opener early 1960's, my dad and I were a long way back on an old abandoned logging road fairly thick knee high brush in the track. We ran into a pretty young lady all dressed for a party passing out business cards for a bar in the local town. She said she just wanders around passing out cards. You have to realize that opening day in Wisconsin there are 500,000 deer hunters in the wood although not many that far off the road. I always wondered what she would have been offering if my dad wouldn't have had his 13 yr old son with him.

A number of traps hanging in trees.

An old abandoned log cabin, not much more than a square of rotted down logs. There was heap of empty pocket sized Prince Albert tobacco tins that was at least 4 feet high.

A 12ft wooden boat on a beaver pond at least a couple miles from the nearest road, most have been some pretty fair fishing to drag a boat by hand that far.

What looked to be a grave again very far from a road , the pick and shovel were in the hole with a sheet of plywood over it. We left a note with a dime in it and asked for a phone call to let us know what the diggings were for, we checked every year for at least 10 year and it was never disturbed again.
