Thats why you don't let your friends know were you have your trail cams, they dress up in alien costumes and go take pictures.......... Not like ive ever done that or anything.
As for me the things that can be 'dangerous' in indiana is Humans, esp. the chemically fueled kind. I have a friend that had a feral dog pack go after him when he was field dressing a deer. Venomous snakes, hornets (was squirrel hunting once and almost blasted a nest behind the squirrel, fortunately didn't shoot). Really though the only thing i worry about out in the woods is people.

Isn't the biggest threat to Indiana hunters, and I say this in all seriousness, falling out of a tree stand?
I would bet money on it. Looking at some of the shoddy half arsed stands people climb 20 feet up into amazes me. Their disability and health insurance must be fantastic to risk climbing up in some of these things and then attempting to shoot from them. Crazy.
12 gauge loaded with slugs, and .357 mag loaded with hollow points... not many things in the woods more dangerous than me
I had the same set up this year but couldn't get a shot off. I think of it like a very chilly picknick by myself. I sure would have liked to shoot some punk squirells making a lot of racket - but I resisted.

you have almost zero risk from bears & lions here in Indiana.. depending on the county , feral dog packs may be the biggest animal risk you might see..
Bob Cat, yup seen them. Bear, Brown County State Park has confirmed sightings by CO's. Mountain lions, keep hearing that LEO's and CO's have seen something that resembles them.
Cougars hang out at the seedy bars and trailer parks
Me and a buddy of mine were south of Nashville WAY back on Bond Cemetary Road a few years ago turkey scouting. Right at daybreak we both heard a "sound" that neither of us could indentify. First thing that came to both of us was a bear. It made the hair stand up on both of our necks.
Of course neither of us had a weapon since we were scouting. I have read about bear sightings WAY back in Brown County Park some time ago.Needless to say I don't go into Yellowwood, Morgan Monroe, or Hoosier National Forest without a weapon anymore! Timber rattlers are a concern too.

there might be some bobcats around so they say, dont know how dangerouse they are!
Roger the cougar hangouts, very cunning, dangerous species indeed. Often times found in not so seedy bars and suburbia as well. When captured, they are seldom successfully domesticated. Now the cougar alert has been covered, in the woods the only thing I worry about is other people. And then not much because I hunt where only I have access to.
