Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever Been Bitten?

Not love bites. REAL bites?

Dogs. Mostly my own, but a few times by others.

Cats. Until I quit tolerating cats.

Fish. More than a few.

Birds. A couple times.

A live bait squid. Dammit!

Coyote.

Coon.

I'm sure I'll remember more.

PS~ I knew I would... A Horse! Dammit again!

Had a great uncle that was saddling a horse one day, and that horse reached around and bit his left nipple off.

My cousin saw it. Said the old man never said a word. He just went around and got his 30-30 out of the scabbard and shot that horse between the eyes. He never owned another...

black snake. hurt like hell and them fuggers don't have teefus.

My worst was a horse. Grabbed me by the shoulder and darn near lifted me off the ground. I sure wouldn't want to tangle with a pit bull, though.

At least by two horses.

One dog after I told the dude to put it up, went back on a thunderstorm night and shot the sombitch through the fence.

Copperhead
Dog

I took 117 stitches from a Doberman...that count?

Sure.

Ya ever bite any of ‘em back?

The worst bite was a horse I used to ride a lot. I was feeding him apples or carrots or something like I often did and the SOB bit me on my stomach. It didn’t break the skin surprisingly but did leave a big bruise and hurt like hell for a half a day but I got back in the saddle and we forgave each other even though I’m still not sure what transgression caused him to bite me. I guess even horses have bad days once in awhile. 😉

When I was a Realtor I went out to get a listing on a country place, very redneck, old trailer and lots of junk on a half-acre. Lady there had a pet coyote, when I got out of the car that SOB came running out from under the porch and latched onto the toe of one of my good wingtip shoes. Ripped the shoe up pretty good , couldnt get him off, lady came out finally and smacked him a couple of good ones with a big stick. He let go and I left.

My daughter. When she bit the hell out of me when she was a 2 year old.

She didn't bite anyone after that.

I used to stop and pet a horse in a corral on a parcel I had permission to hunt. Always brought the old mare some grass and a sugar cube. She'd see me coming and trot right over for her handouts. I'm standing there betting her one day and the old nag bit me! I swatted her as hard as I could on the side of her noggin, and she looked at me like she'd been hit by ligthning. We never traded pleasantries again.

German Shepard and a horse.

Haha. Good job.

I've been dog bit twice, once when I was a kid, and again when I was a mail carrier. Both dogs were little ole ankle biters, the worst kind. never been bit by a horse, but have been told they bite worse than anything on the planet. I made the mistake of turning a new pony into the lot with my horses, and one of them bit her so bad that we had to treat the bites.

Alligator lizard
A number of different snakes
A painted turtle
A skunk (in a trap)
A great blue heron
Several dogs
A king crab (yup, slowest moving critter this side of a sloth)
Don't think I have ever caught a silver salmon that didn't bite me... lots of other fish have...


A brother was holding a wing-shot crow when it reached up and latched onto his septum and refused to let go.

Ha. Good job.

I was listening to a preacher on the radio before church this AM. Said his little sister was the world record people biter as a 2-4 yrear old. She bit all the relatives, baby sitters, other kids and nursery people.

I thought yeah, she learned people jumped when she bit them and had her fun. I woulda swatted her ass without thinking had she bit me and probably gone to jail, but I woulda been the last sucker she bit.

When I was a kid I worked at a race track as a groom. Got bit by horses 3 or 4 times. They'd wait till you walk by and bite you on the shoulder.

Later on I was breaking up a dog fight. A friends german shepherd was fighting another dog. I reached in and grabbed the dog, and he was surprised and turned real quick and bit my arm. only 3 stitches to close it up.

I was attacked by a pack of dogs when I was about five. Many superficial bites but nothing serious. I still love dogs.

Bitten by a baby copperhead in the Boy Scouts, made me a little bit sick.

I was trying to move a Florida Indigo snake to safety at a group picnic when the ungrateful booger bit the heck out of me.

Many fish bites.

Do mosquitoes count? Because in Florida, I've been covered with them as if I were wearing gray fur. Not pleasant.

Oh, and fire ants. Also not pleasant.
