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

Had a wolf hybrid circle around me and latch onto my butt cheek while pushing a truck out of the mud. He wasn't too serious, thankfully.

I see some exotic birds listed here. My wife had various parrots,conures,tiels and the like. Her Umbrella Cockatoo was scary. What that bird could do with that big beak was something. It tolerated me. I hated it. Noisy [bleep]. It nipped her a time or two. Not viciously or who knows what for damage it could have done. I told her if it ever left a mark on one of the children,I'd splatter it on the wall with the .410. It's gone. No I didn't have to splatter it,but I Damn sure would have.

My sister got bit by a German Shepard that chased us on our bikes. He came at me after baseball practice and I smashed his skull. He lived, but had permanent nerve damage

This miracle happened in September three years ago, when I was only 75 years old.. It was a nice day to do some flying so I rode my Harley out to the farm where I keep my plane.. In Wisconsin we have some ugly vines that grow on dense trees like spruce.. Wearing only a tee shirt and walking from where I parked my bike toward the hanger, I spotted some vines that needed to be pulled down.. Didn't realize there was a hornets nest right behind where I grabbed... Around here you put up with these bad boys all the time.. Normally a bite hurts for a few minutes and then you forget about it.. No idea how many times they got me, but it was a lot.. Still didn't register as something dangerous.. I went and sat down in the hanger for a few minutes.. Have read lots of stories about snake bite and recognized the dry mouth that was happening as not good.. Maybe I should go back to town where there is a hospital just in case.. About 15 miles away.. Back on my Harley I'm going down the road and thinking I really don't feel good.. Better go back to the farm.. Got the bike turned around and am heading back.. Wasn't speeding, my guess was about 45-50 MPH when I blacked out.. Except for the grace of God, this would be the end of the story.. I came to setting on the bike just like I was riding except now we are laying on our side and I am looking up at tall corn stocks.. Panic time.. Somehow I got the bike upright and started.. The corn was so thick I had to stomp down a lot of it to make a trail out of the field.. Made it back to the farm and laid down for almost 5 hours before I was able to get up.. Going back later, I had crossed the oncoming lane of traffic, down in the left ditch, tracks went right beside a hi-line pole and then about 30 yards out into the corn field.. Had I gone off the right side of the road, there was a woven wire fence with 3 barbs.. Now I keep some meds around if it ever happens again.. Managed to spend 13 months flying Army helicopters in Vietnam and not bite a bullet.. Life has been very good. Regards

When I was a kid the neighbor's Golden Retriever bit me hard while riding my go cart. I provoked it and deserved the bite.

I was also bitten by my pet iguana and parrots, both childhood pets. Both drew blood.

While in the Marine Corps I was bitten by a brown recluse - the swelling and pain was not fun and resulted in a trip to Balboa Naval Hospital.

My twins (boy-girl), now five, liked to bite when they were two. My wife and I, on separate occasions, bit them back and that stopped the biting.

Mostly lice, bedbugs, and assorted parasites - just the usual stuff.
I gotta clean up the house.
