I heard it for about 10 minutes and I started walking backwards it was so bad. I had a loaded 3006 across my chest and it didn't make me feel any safer.

They were so loud and deep, ain't no damn way a man could have made that language. Ain't no man gonna make my instincts yell at me to turn around from the time I got out of my truck and slowly walked down that old logging Rd either. That entire hour hike in my instincts were screaming not to go down that trail. I never went back to that area. I never hunted that side of the forest again.

Last summer me and my son had something walk straight to us in a swamp on Redstone Arsenal in the middle of the night. It shut the entire forest down. It shut every July fly up. My dogs hair was standing up. We could hear the damn water dripping off of it. It walked straight to us and stopped about 30yds away in the brush. Only reason why we stayed cause I had a pistol on my hip and a mean German Shepherd to help me. I thought it was gonna be someone playing a trick on us but it wasn't. It never walked out close enough to see it.

If you are serious I would suggest you either stay out of the woods or seek help for the paranoid episodes, no offense intended.

If this is an attempt at your humor, which I normally appreciate, I’d say that this is not the right time or topic.

Prayers for the gentleman’s safe return. I’m not at all familiar with Bankhead but it sure sounds like some rough terrain.

He’s expressing caution about being there
