Just had the complete piss scared out of me!! Very dark & cloudy here tonight. It's garbage night so I drove my cans up earlier to the end of the driveway on my way to grab a pizza. It's about 400 feet out from the house & zero ambient light from anything. I got done eating & figured I would walk the pizza box up to the cans. I get about 1/2 way & I hear the unmistakable snorting/whistling of a very horny & angry whitetail buck.
My eyes hadn't adjusted at all to the the darkness so I can't see shit! Fucker had to be no more than 15 or 20 feet from me, I could actually hear him banging his hooves on the pavement of the driveway in front of me. I couldn't see him so I just turned my back to him so at least he would ram my ass as opposed to my face. My ass is pretty tough after all the GDC trips. After a minute or so I could hear he moved off 50 feet or so, but was still making these crazy snorting, whistling sounds at me.
I figured he was far enough off so I turned back to walk up the driveway & now I see something about 2 feet tall & white moving directly at me on my driveway. I'm wondering what the hell is next! I backed up about 10 feet & finally my eyes adjusted so I could see a little bit. It was a damn white plastic shopping bag blowing in the breeze! (It was a very mean & vicious looking garbage bag!)
I've been on this property for 18 years, I've only had 1 other run in with a buck. At least that time I had my spotlights on so I could see what the hell was happening. I was watering some new grass seed & that one decided he didn't want me to be in the yard. I think I'll start taking a flashlight out with me from now on.

You don't need a flash-light...you need a shot-gun!
98% of the time deer are pretty mellow. I put out dried corn & mineral block licks to keep them around. It's not that unusual to have a dozen dozing around in my back yard at night. I just had a doe & 2 fawns feeding off her out back for a few hours the other night. Deer would normally take off very quickly if a person is around. Right now they are in the middle of rut, I'm sure that's why this one was all wacked out. You know how guys are when they are looking to get laid!
This time really sucked because I couldn't see anything so I didn't really know how to react. Nothing scarier than a wild guy with major wood.

Killed a buck like that once. It was charging me.. Ran wide open straight at me.. I shot it through the chest and it fell to the ground right at my feet.. It was like something out of a movie..

That's pretty much what ran through my head when the buck was snorting & whistling at me.
Maybe the buck had heard about the G.D.C. camping trips and was just looking for your tent.
Could have been worse...You could have gone out with no glasses on and a gun and shot the neighbor while he was putting out his trash.

You probably turned around subconsciously because you wanted the buck to ram you. We all know you dont actually care about your face.
Fucking hell!!
