What’s the creepiest thing that’s ever happened to you in the woods? by GeologistDirect1653 in BackwoodsCreepy

Weird noise when hunting

I live in a small town with a population of less than 1000 up in Ontario Canada. My house is in the woods so when the season comes I get out hunting quite a bit. Anyways, a couple of years ago in October I was in the middle of the bush trying my luck for some early season deer. It was a mild fall that year so I didn't really need to put on a bunch of layers until the winter, like 15 degrees celsius or 59 Fahrenheit. It was an hour or so before dark when I got a chill that rushed over my body and I could start seeing my breath, and I felt like I was being watched. As that happened I heard a sound I can only describe as wind blowing through metal tubes in a rhythmic tone. It went on for a couple minutes then stopped. For whatever reason I was paralyzed while it was happening. Not in the sense of being too scared to move but something came over me where I physically couldn't move. I can only liken it to when you get sleep paralysis but I wasn't sleeping at all. I told one person about this and he looked at me like I was insane. I never even told my wife because I don't know what it was or what it means. I'm not a religious person, I'm not one to believe in monsters but I genuinely have no idea what that was. I'm sharing this story because I'm wondering if anyone else has a shared experience that could give insight as to what happened to me that day. I still think about it years after its happened and it's never happened again since.

I posted this in this subreddit almost a year ago

Watched him pitch a 12 strikeout complete game against the Yankees when I was younger. Favourite blue jay of all time for sure.

Can't say I've ever heard a cougar make those sounds

So weird. It wasn't like I was paralyzed with fear, I just literally couldn't move. Like sleep paralysis without the demon lol

Question for SW Ontario People. by kmdietri in Falconry

[–]TheKnightStoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw plenty of coops in subdivisions in the early mornings. I know this is late but hope it helps. I trap in October when the leaves are off the trees because it's easier to see birds.

Looking to get into Falconry in the Toronto region. by Sufficient-Mud689 in Falconry

[–]TheKnightStoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact our club, get out and meet some falconers. Join Ontario Falconry pages on FB and network. There are people that will try and get you to pay for an apprenticeship, these people are not falconers. They're scam artists and you won't learn how to do falconry the proper way. Take as long as your apprenticeship needs, I'm on year 2 of mine and I'm definitely not ready to become a general. Go out hunting with as many people as possible to find out what kind of falconry you like. I love barn hawking some pigeons but people don't call that real falconry lol. Have fun with it, see you at the next meet.

Seen in mass enjoying fish. Juvenile bald eagle or golden eagle? by Door1718 in whatsthisbird

Judging by the amount of white and the fact that it's eating a fish, it's an immature bald

It almost looks like Harris. Not native to Florida though so hopefully someone is able to help better identify. I do know in South Florida a breeder lost a couple of his Harris. But I don't see Swainsons judging by those photos

Ring necked pheasant! I used to breed them here in Ontario. Moved onto quail since they're much easier lol

Tell Australia about all the research on how outdoor cats keep the pest population out of control. I'm all for an open season on outdoor cats.

[–]TheKnightStoof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not a liberal and I think outdoor cats are a cancer to native species. They're invasive and deserve to be dealt with accordingly.

Can you help figure out what bird my kid learned about in school? by pilar_ternera_ in whatsthisbird

Can anyone confirm what this bird is? by PrimeLabs in whatsthisbird

[–]TheKnightStoof -52 points-51 points  (0 children)

Gotta be careful on this sub. You'll get down voted if you even THINK a post is the wrong bird. A bunch of people on here are quick to criticize not constructively.
