I am going back a ways but I was trapping in Northern Maine when Loring AFB in Limestone was still in operation. I was somewhere between Portage Lake and Perham and all was quite when out of nowhere a fighter jet went blasting right over me just above the treetops. Scared the bee gee bees out of me as it happened so fast and it was so loud. Tom Cruise/ Top Gun requesting a fly by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdHBsWXaHN8

Nothing really, I don’t have head games or boogeyman issues.
But lightning while in a climbing stand can be un-nerving or surprise widow makers falling.

I am horrible scarred by bein' raped by a female banshee.
Scarred for life.
Most "scared" I've been I guess would interrupting a sow bear feeding in a landing in tall grass while I was on the way to a creek for the timber company I worked for. Especially when she turned and huffed and junior ran up a tree and I could no longer see her.

LOL This only mine was at night I was looking for A Bobcat I had shot at up on Mountain Pass this right off of I-15 at the Cal Nevada border when this fighter jet swooped out of nowhere came up over the hill I was looking around on with a flashlight. Startled the living hell out of me. It was obviously headed toward Nellis AFB just east if Las Vegas maybe 60 miles away. Then you have your assorted UFO sightings from 40 + years of Predator hunting at night

never been scared of chit. Me neither. I never got myself into a position in the woods that I didn’t feel I could handle or overcome. I’m pretty confident about my abilities, I go prepared and I’m resourceful enough that I usually feel as though I’d be pretty damn comfortable if I got “lost”....I’ve never gotten lost enough that I didn’t know where I was and I’m afraid that I’d like it if I did. 😁 Now I can’t say that about the ocean. There have been a few times on the ocean where I found myself having some serious negotiations with the good Lord. I’ll admit to being “highly concerned”, not scared.

Epic floods in Northern California, late 1990's. Were were in the corner of a 2-ft deep flooded almond orchard, off the Sacramento River. The flooded section was maybe 30 yards wide. We were **slamming** woodies and mallards.
Straight across from us, a massive buck crashed into the orchard, and came right at us. It covered 30 yards in 4 jumps (it seemed), and jumped between us and out of sight, missing us both by feet.
Pretty quick rush.

Not scared per se, but had my attention watching horses on full radar alert and seeing a bears eyes reflecting in the spotlight and crashing branches.
Another was lightning at medium elevation at what seemed like within reach for ten minutes before getting back to camp.

Let me see, being shot at in Vietnam. Two unscheduled helicopter landings on wildfires. Burnt the emblems, and melted paint and headlight covers on wildfires. Trees falling around me at night on wildfires. Cougar screaming at me in the dark, walking into a pack of wolves in the dark, My wife's heart attack, liberals, and people who want to take away my guns., Did I miss anything ???
