Strange things youve lamped

[kev2010 8]

Wouldn't say strange but at the time was a mixture of fear and excitment!!! Hopped over the gate to the field and ran two rabbits missed the first allways did with my old bitch and as I was about to pass through too the next field I flicked my lamp on and there were these big eyes staring straight back at me from the edgeline to my right under an old oak tree couldn't make out for the life of me what it was all I knew was it was big!! So I let curiosity get the better of me and approached it slowly trying to get a good view of it!! My heart was pumping when I was approaching!! the bitch a seasoned veteran on all quarry decided she didn't want to go near it and acted really strangly as we got closer wich I will admit reallly unsettled me!! But I couldn't resist and It literally let me walk right up next to it before getting up and waddling off down the field were I came from!! It was a calf!! I can't tell you how happy I was to see it's fat arse wandering off and not some strange beast that was going to eat me and my dog!! Unsettling at the time but it's all in your mind! I'm just glad I went over and found out what it was before starting a tale if a local beast !!

Its amazing how your eyes & mind play tricks on you.I remeber looking up the feild one really dark night.On top of the browe was what looked like about 20 people coming towards me.The more i stared,the closer they got.Turned out to be the chimmneys on the houses over the other side.

 

lol I had two drunks appear out of knowwere because apparently they thought my lamp was a UFO that was very wierd!! U puff out your chest and try to make yourself feel like your scared of nothing but if were all honest with ourselves when the minds playing tricks and your on your own just you and the dog it's unnerving lol!! I laugh about it now but at the time I could feel my heart pumping so hard in my chest I'm suprised I didn't scare off the local wildlife!!

Wake's you up though.

Its not quite the same but since you mentioed owls, I once sat in a field at night making sqeaking noises.

(to attract rabbits obviously) When somthing caught my attention above me, I looked up to see a dirty great

owl flutering just over my head like a giant moth! Could it have fallen for the sqeaking or was it coincidence?

dif not a coincidence go on u tube type in squeaking owls guy hiding in bushes calling them in with rabbit squealer during daylight hours
