For all the nature lovers: What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever witnessed in the woods?

Nothing too out of the ordinary except for maybe one thing that comes to mind. A couple summers ago my ex boyfriend and I were driving by a field close to dusk and we stopped the truck to look at a cat and a deer just chilling out together. I swear to god. It was the neighbors cat, tail held high, with a deer several feet away. I wanted to get a picture but my old phone camera was terrible and it was too dark to catch anything on film but two blobs.

In my short lifetime as a Maine citizen I’ve seen a few bald eagles overhead while kayaking, I’ve seen a beaver going for a swim from above in a tree stand. Close to the Canadian border I’ve seen a couple black bears take off. I’ve seen deer take off countless times. A handful of years ago my mother and I saw a raccoon with her baby in her mouth standing on its hind leg in the middle of the road. Back in 2016 I think, I videotaped a porcupine walking through a field of clover as my dad and I drove by. I’m sure there’s many more animals that I’ve seen that I’m forgetting.

A couple of things not too spectacular. Walking down a 'cut line' one day I came face to face with a cougar. It jumped out of the bush land landed about 20' away from me. We both stared at each other for about a minute before it bolted and disappeared into the thick forest. Another time I was walking through the forest at night when I found my self in the middle of a herd of wild horses. They were very calm and simply watched me as I passed by them.

Holy. We have bobcats in Maine, but it’s pretty rare for anyone to come across one. I’ve only seen pictures on trail cameras put up by hunters. 😳😳😳@hippyjoe1955

@Thebestof1995 Yeah I have to head south and east to see bobcats. I have seen a lynx but it was in the middle of the city. I was driving through northern Manitoba one winter and just before dusk a pine martin ran in front of my truck. Pretty cool to see. I was driving through Jasper National Park when I saw some sticks lying on the road ahead of me. I slowed down so as to avoid hitting when the sticks jumped up and ran into a lake beside the road. Once they moved I realized they were otters that were sunning themselves on the pavement.
