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

Dogs, two cats both Simise, goose, Horse,Ground squirrel,oppsum, I think thats about it!

Yup... Learned at a very young age you don't jump on and scare the chit outta a sleeping cat..

Tiger................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ And now for the rest of the story.... Best friend's Dad growing up was the Vet for the local zoo. He raised 3 tiger cubs at their house until they were 6 weeks old because the mother rejected them. It was fun to feed them and they were very playful but their little teeth were as sharp as a razor!

Worst bite I ever got was from Granddad's old cow horse. He was a big ole stud that was 17 hands high and didn't like anybody riding him but Granddad.
I was probably 8 or 9 and pestering him after we had spent all day working cows. Granddad told me to ride him up to the barn so he could Un-saddle him and give him a rub down. When I touched him with my Spurs he reached around and damn near took a hunk out of my right knee! Didn't draw blood, but I was black and blue for a week.

Granddad got bit in the nose by a bull snake when looking in the chicken coop. I bet that had to hurt like hell, and I'd never heard a string of cuss words like that in all my life.

Dog, as a small child, in the face.
Like dogs just fine, but tolerate no chit from any.

Looks like Suzi9mm stuff

I was bit by a 3 legged pit bull named Jesus.

Stupid fugger hit me right in the back of the leg. Mostly got pant.

Thats a sting. Yanks call stings bites. I dont know why, however.

Brown recluse spider, I'm not as allergic to this spider as some people. I only had some swelling and the typical bruise like mark, healed on its own. A few fish while Snorkeling. A couple of non serious dog bites, birds. A funny snapping turtle on my boot, man those things get pissed. The most notable bite, if you can call it that, happens 30 years ago. We had a 110 lb. Rottweiler from Germany. He didn't like it at all when I was disciplining my 7 year old daughter. He grabbed my arm and just bit down hard enough to say stop. While my arm was in his mouth, I could feel the power of his jaws and he really wasn't applying much pressure at all. I told him good boy and he let go. I never talked to her in that tone, in front of him, again.

That sounds like a, "Here, hold my beer and watch this", moment.

Never been bit by a Garand but once by a table saw.

Have a dimple on my right thigh caused by a spider bite when I was a teenager. Doctor said it was a Brown Recluse bite. I never saw the spider.

Not me, but a friend had milking cows when he was growing up. Had one particular cow that was fond of kicking him when he sat on the stool to hook her up. He was about 20 at the time. Well, despite repeated attempts to find a way to stay away from her, she up and kicked him in the knee. It was the last straw for him. After he recovered enough to walk, he picked up a ball peen hammer and clubbed her between the eyes. She folded like a cheap suit. He thought he killed her. He was in the process of trying to figure out a way to cover his tracks with his dad, she regained "life" and stumbled to her feet. Never did tell his old man what happened. She was never quite right after that. But, she did have enough sense left to never kick him again.

You are soooo right. Worked for a vet part time when in college and those leather gloves for "scratch protection" did nothing to protect from a cat bite - those boogers are especially nasty when they are on the slippery table. Yes - the pocket gopher - I think about that possibility every time I reach up into either side of the tunnel to clean out any debris before setting the trap. My thick gloves do help there.

Earlier some one mentioned something like a Pacific Black Timber Rattlesnake. I don't know if there is such an actual variety, but do know that I have seen many more seemingly odd color rattlers (especially very dark without much pattern) up in mid and northern Cal than anywhere else. Have seen tons in the SW and almost all seem to have been in normal color/patter form. Anyone know more about that?

Pit bull turned me into hamburger in 1965 when I was 14.
When ever I see a pit bull, I get ready to do a quick draw.

Most memorable!

About seven years old I thought a Chipmunk would make a nice pet. Them little buggers can bite you twenty seven times before you can shake one off. GW

Not in years now, but

This is no [bleep], I had a duck bite me! That sob pinched me so hard it left a blood blister! I beat the hell out of it with my fishin rod. It looked like that Aflac duck.
