[@Layla-rv7ym]

@@eftheusempire But it always can happen, so one should take precautions because once it does... well, it could easily be your last trip there. Doesn't matter if you're a man or woman, the woods are a dangerous place, especially at odd hours like that or once it becomes dark. You can always stumble upon a maniac, drunk/druged person, or into a wild animal. Wolves, bears, bobcats, poisonous snakes are common in most forests or wood areas... Nvm that, you can also fall, slip, hurt yourself into a trap etc and have no one to help you or get lost/disorienrated due to the fog, similar looking trees etc. So be wary of your surroundings, possible dangers, and always have something with you to help you fight and locate you...Always go with other people and into places you know.

I have my own experience with hearing a bell at night in the forest....when I got out of the military, I spent 6 months working on a ranch outside Whitefish, Montana. While there i spent alot of time cross country skiing, climbing and camping in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. One weekend I took off by myself with plans on camping that night and then climbing this mountain on the continental divide the next morning. That night it dropped to -8 F with an snow/rain/sleet mixture. while curled up in my tent I kept hearing footsteps and a bell ringing sounding like it was circling my camp area. It would come and go for minutes at a time almost the entire night.....being alone it was pretty creepy.. it really felt like I was being stalked so i slept with a glock 21 right next to me. Early next morning maybe 430am, I got out of the tent, ate, packed up and headed towards the mountain. Not a quarter mile down the trail i hear that same damn bell....I look over and to my horror............................. it was a fucking cow that had obviously gotten separated and was just walking around grazing the spots where grass was still coming out of the snow.🤣🤦‍♂️

[@YouSuprised]

Many ryokans in the Japanese countryside have a box of bells on hand at the reception desk.

This reminds me of a time I was hiking out in the sierra nevada mountains. I was out alone in the woods looking for a campsite and I too started hearing an eerie bell sound. I paused to listen and couldn't hear any sort of pattern to the ringing. Right as I started to hike some more I heard the sounds of a large creature crunching the dry underbrush to the sound of the bell. As my adrenaline started really to kick up, a cow walked out from behind a tree. It gave me a sideways look and then its bell gave a merry little jingle as it bent down to eat a bit of wild grass. Apparently some ranchers graze their cattle way out in the backwoods lol.

From what I've learned from all of Mr. Ballen's stories. Never, ever venture into a forest, unless you bring at least a knife, a sword, a crossbow, a gun, a rifle, and some handful of grenades.

In my little town of Beverley in the North of England, which has a great deal of Medieval history and ghost stories, the most famous one has bells too! Monks during the Black Death of 1348 would carry bells on the stretchers of the deceased and dying plague victims, so that healthy people would know to avoid them. They were tasked with disposing of the bodies, as no-one else was willing to do it. Perhaps they also carried bells on the ropes around their waists, but from what I remember they were attached to stretchers. Legend has it you can still hear the bells today! 🔔 🔔 🔔 The ancient pub called: ‘The Monks Walk’ right outside of the Beverley Minster has a painting of a hooded figure carrying a bell. Apparently there are thousands of medieval bodies underneath the Victorian train station too!

Do not fear the bell in the woods fear the creature that answer it's call...

And then seeing a beheaded beaver just before rigor mortise sets in and thinks it's OK to continue on even more?

I found the part of the comment section that makes sense! I had heard about threads like these, but thought they were an internet legend .... They would have to be exceptionally well hidden cams. Probably planted when a swarm of hunters are in the area for the same purpose. Reduces the risk of camera placement being spotted. Perhaps secondary cams facing the main trail cams in case of tampering. Remember, it's a person, not an animal. They clearly know trail and bushcraft, are capable of higher thought, planning and patience. And if possible some IR equipment. Hard to hide heat signature if it's not expected. Most people don't cover themselves in mud frequently. Though as a hunter, the guy is probably aware of tricks like that for masking scent at the very least.
