00:13Whoa! Whoa! Don't shoot!
00:22Leon was riding his quad bike through woodland when something immediately caught his attention.
00:29Nailed to a tree was an illegal deer stand, clear evidence of poaching.
00:35The situation already felt wrong, but what happened next nearly cost him his life.
00:42We'd get all down through here. Now if this were a survival situation,
00:47I'd have a shotgun with me and just ride right through this kind of stuff.
00:51People kick up grouse and every other kind of crazy stuff.
00:57Little birds, big birds. I would dare say there are wild turkeys somewhere around here.
01:06Whoa! Whoa! Don't shoot!
01:15What are you doing here? Huh? Oh, I was just riding.
01:23Okay, I'll get on right now.
01:26Okay, alright. Is this your private property?
01:30Get the fuck out of here. Okay, I'm leaving.
01:32Get the fuck out of here.
01:39Without warning, a gunshot rang out, the bullet passing dangerously close
01:44and cutting through the air over the sound of his quad.
01:48Leon stopped, set his camera down, and made his presence known, shotgun close by.
01:55He later explained that the poacher fired in his direction, acted suspiciously,
02:02and at one point pointed his gun at him three separate times.
02:07Leon demanded that the man identify himself, but he remained silent.
02:12What happened afterward remains unclear,
02:16leaving viewers questioning whether the poacher was ever charged or even warned.
02:22But one thing is certain.
02:24Firing without identifying your target is reckless.
02:28And in this case, it came terrifyingly close to ending a life.
02:34The behavior seen on camera makes the encounter even more unsettling,
02:39raising questions about whether the shot was truly accidental at all.
02:47After spending the entire day bowhunting deer to provide food for his family,
02:53a hunter settled into his tree stand as dust crept over the forest.
02:58As darkness deepened, the woods grew quiet, and then the noises began.
03:06Hey guys.
03:08Well, I'm about a mile from the gifting rock right now.
03:12It's starting to get dusk.
03:15It's about 35 degrees out.
03:20And I want you to listen to what I'm listening to out here.
03:25It's pretty crazy.
03:26I'm bowhunting for deer tonight.
03:30That's how we feed our family here.
03:32We don't, we don't buy beef.
03:35Uh, we harvest venison and we eat that.
03:38So.
03:40Anyway.
03:43I want you to hear this.
03:44I'm going to turn the camera around so you can hear a little better.
03:47Just a minute.
04:09Like I said, I'm quite a long ways away from the gifting rock.
04:14So, why are we hearing that out here?
04:17A mile away.
04:19Okay.
04:22I'm going to try to ask the farmer that owns this property if he's ever heard this sound before.
04:30Anyhow.
04:31Alright guys.
04:32Stay safe out there.
04:33Hopefully I can get a deer yet tonight.
04:35I'm thinking probably not.
04:37Whatever that is, is probably what's keeping the deer out of here.
04:40It's the third time I've hunted here and haven't seen a deer yet.
04:44So.
04:46Maybe that's what it is.
04:49They weren't typical sounds of wildlife.
04:52The noises were loud.
04:53Guttural.
04:55And deeply unsettling.
04:57Unlike anything he had heard before.
04:59High in his stand.
05:01Heart pounding.
05:03He listened as the sounds echoed through the trees.
05:06Noticing that other animals seemed to avoid the area entirely.
05:12The footage ends shortly after.
05:14With no explanation of what was making those sounds.
05:17But judging by the comments and reactions from viewers.
05:22Whatever was out there that night.
05:24Didn't resemble any known wildlife.
05:27And the fear captured in that moment was very real.
05:35Zeb is an experienced outdoorsman with years of hunting behind him.
05:41But what happened on this trip was something nothing could have prepared him for.
05:46The day after Thanksgiving.
05:49With fresh feet of snow blanketing the ground.
05:53Zeb decided to take advantage of the conditions and head out in search of fresh deer tracks.
05:58The day after Thanksgiving.
06:01I'm up here in Vermont.
06:03Just got six inches of fresh snow.
06:06And I'm about to get out of the car.
06:08Head into the woods and hopefully pick up a fresh track.
06:12It's seven o'clock right now.
06:13So I got all day.
06:24It's been about a half hour so far and I just came to a barnyard.
06:29Tracks everywhere.
06:32Looks like they've been feeding in here.
06:34After it snowed.
06:35There's no snow on any of the tracks.
06:38So I'm gonna work my way through here and try to sort this out.
06:44Hopefully I can find the tracks leaving out of here.
06:48Get on them and track them down.
06:58The snow was deep and unforgiving.
07:02But the tracks were clear.
07:04Leading him further into the dense forest.
07:07As he followed them.
07:09Pushing through thick snow and towering trees.
07:13The atmosphere grew heavy and intense.
07:17Deer moved through the area.
07:18And after tracking for nearly half a mile.
07:21He finally spotted his target.
07:24With his rifle ready.
07:26He took the shot.
07:28And that's when everything went wrong.
08:01He was a bad boy for the track.
08:03And he was passei.
08:04I didn't know a bad boy.
08:06I didn't know a bad boy.
08:07But it was an ugly boy.
08:09He was a poor man.
08:09And he was a good boy.
08:09Not sure.
08:13And he still spotted the fire.
08:16I couldn't tell.
08:17But he was a good boy.
08:18Out of nowhere, the wounded deer charged straight toward him from the trees.
08:25Visibility was poor, the moment was shocking, and there was barely time to react.
08:32Acting on instinct alone, Zeb managed to move out of the way just in time as the deer rushed past
08:39him and disappeared deeper into the woods, where it was later put down.
08:44What should have been a routine hunt turned into a moment that left him shaken, a reminder of how quickly
08:52things can spiral out of control in the wilderness.
08:59Hunter harassment is more common than many people realize, and for these hunters, the situation escalated in seconds.
09:09They set out early for a day of goose hunting, and at first, everything went as planned.
09:17They had already taken down a goose when a man suddenly appeared in the distance, shouting and watching their every
09:25move.
09:27So, a little morning update here.
09:306.50, we got the first flock come in, put them down pretty good, and then our pal down the
09:36road here, he's a little unhappy apparently,
09:39and he already was giving us problems this morning before we even set up in the dark.
09:42So, also, mind you, he owns half-acre land that isn't this.
09:48We have permission from the farmer to be here.
09:49We're more than legal distance away, so we're trying to get ahold of ENCON here for harassment.
09:53So, because we're not taking this this year.
09:56Normally, happens all the time, try to stay legal, and then people that think, think they know what's going on,
10:03try to screw stuff up.
10:04So, I had enough of it, River's trying to make some phone calls over there.
10:09Yeah, I'm trying to fire ECO officers' numbers so we can get her out here, or him, I'm pretty sure.
10:29We're not confiscating our birds.
10:30You heard what she said.
10:31What?
10:32What she said?
10:32We're not confiscating her birds.
10:53There you go.
11:00Good job, boss.
11:01Don't shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
11:06Knowing they had permission to be there, the hunters attempted to contact the game warden to report the harassment.
11:14Instead of backing off, the man became more aggressive, waving his arms to scare geese away and deliberately trying to
11:23sabotage the hunt.
11:24Then others joined him.
11:27Then others joined him.
11:27The shouting grew louder.
11:29The behavior more hostile.
11:31And then the threats began.
11:33Death threats.
11:35Police were called.
11:37Police were called.
11:38And when officers arrived, the hunters showed their licenses, identification, and proof of permission.
11:44What's going on?
11:45It's nothing.
11:46It's just goose hunting.
11:46Who owns the property?
11:48The property?
11:49I know who owns it.
11:50Anybody here associated with the owner?
11:52I have permission from him.
11:53Okay.
11:53I went and talked to him last night and he said yes.
11:55And what's your understanding?
11:56Who's the property owner?
12:00Yep.
12:07He lives right at the end of this road.
12:08You take a right on the left.
12:10Don't share.
12:11Yep.
12:11All right.
12:13Was he under the impression you were going to have this many people with you?
12:17I asked him for goose hunting and he didn't say anything about having a limited number of people.
12:22Obvious.
12:23All right.
12:23So, I'm not busting balls.
12:26Yeah.
12:26What time was the first shot?
12:27The first shot was at 6.50.
12:29We have it all on film.
12:30Every single.
12:31Yeah.
12:31All on film.
12:31Everything.
12:32I think we had four cameras rolling.
12:34He was yelling at us since 5 o'clock this morning when we were setting decoys.
12:37Since 5.
12:38He was yelling at us.
12:39How many birds have you guys killed?
12:39We shot 11.
12:4011.
12:41How many are you allowed to take?
12:43The limit is 15 per person.
12:45Per person?
12:45Yes.
12:45For early season.
12:46I'm not on that end con shit.
12:47Yeah.
12:48We've been calling them all morning trying to get them to come over.
12:51As soon as he started yelling at us this morning, I notified my one buddy who's an
12:54an end con officer and he said, all right, just keep me updated.
12:57And we've been calling.
12:58And then he just said, is there anything else?
12:59Call the regents.
13:00We call the regents.
13:00Is it just you two?
13:01Or everybody?
13:03No, no.
13:04Not everybody.
13:04They're at the end of the season on the road down here.
13:07Yeah.
13:07Okay.
13:08That's overnight.
13:09Yeah.
13:09Right there.
13:10Right there.
13:10Yep.
13:11Right at the end of it.
13:13We have it all on camera.
13:14Every time the birds were flying around, he was screaming at the birds.
13:17Just on his harassment.
13:18He threatened to kill you.
13:20He's on film.
13:20Yeah.
13:21We have the camera.
13:22He said, I have guys that'll come here, rip every one of your faces off and kill every
13:26last one of you.
13:27Yeah.
13:27We film everything.
13:28So we try to, we do everything to the T legal.
13:31So we don't have any issues.
13:33After reviewing the footage, police quickly determined that the hunters were acting legally
13:39and responsibly.
13:40The hunt ended shortly after.
13:43But what lingered wasn't just frustration.
13:46It was the unsettling reality that harassment can turn dangerous fast.
13:52And when threats are made, you never truly know how far someone might be willing to go.
14:00Two men were walking near Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park when a peaceful moment turned
14:07into a life-threatening situation.
14:10A large brown bear appeared along the trail ahead of them, moving directly toward their position.
14:28A large brown bear appeared along the trail.
14:57He's back up.
14:59Hi there.
15:00I need to go off to the side.
15:03Hey guy.
15:10Just back up.
15:15Staying calm, they slowly backed away, hoping to create distance without provoking it.
15:22That's when they realized the danger had doubled.
15:25behind them was another bear cutting off their retreat
15:34oh one behind us too okay we're okay
15:37oh my goodness
15:47okay yeah we'll just dive that way keep going
15:54it's like trying to talk a moose off the trail
15:57oh my heart's racing
15:58i was like you guys are both focused i was like i should turn around
16:02yeah i was backing up up they're leaving okay all right
16:07in an instant they were trapped between two massive predators the tension thick and inescapable
16:14as the bears closed in somehow they managed to escape without injury
16:20but encounters like this don't always end that way
16:24and many who find themselves in similar situations are not as fortunate
16:31hunting can be peaceful quiet almost calming
16:36but as these encounters show it only takes one moment for everything to change
