This story was submitted by Mason Rogers, who shares a terrifying true encounter he experienced at just 9 years old while hunting with his Grandpa on Pine Mountain Road, Baxter, Kentucky. What should have been the greatest moment of his childhood — his first big hunting trip — turned into something he and his grandfather still struggle to speak about decades later. While sitting together in a double-wide tree stand high in an old oak tree, something unseen grabbed their feet, shook the stand, and tried to rip their weapons away. What followed was a fight for survival, a face-to-face view of the creature, and a chase through the woods that neither of them will ever forget.
