Just freak right the fuck out.

[nuxvomica]

3. wake up

To find my cat biting my hand because he wants me to wake up.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Put it on the ground and consider myself lucky to have had contact with an amazing creature.

[Wounded Bear]

5. When wracked with fear and consumed in doubt...

Run in circles, scream and shout.

[LuckyCharms]

6. Lick it???

[Solly Mack]

7. Take lots of photos.

[58Sunliner]

15. Curse Timothy Leary

[Iggo]

17. Die immediately.

18. I'd probably talk to it. "Hey, buddy, how's it going?"

I was surprised by a coyote once while hiking alone and that's exactly what I said.

I've also been surprised by bears and pigs.

The scariest encounters I've had have been with humans.

[True Dough]

19. Do any of those animals

know your name is "hunter?"

[hunter]

20. I quit hunting and fishing a long time ago.

It's much easier to buy food at Costco, and much easier to enjoy the wilderness unburdened by guns or fishing poles.

[LogDog75]

27. I've hunted and fished but I don't do it anymore

I tried bow hunting deer with a friend but never saw a deer so zero kills. I've caught both fresh and sea water fish but I gave that up, too. It's easier to buy meat and fish from the store than to go out and hunt or fish for it.

I really don't have a problem with people who hunt and fish, except when the don't obey the laws and limits. Many people rely on hunting and fishing to put food on their table because it saves them money than buying at the store.

23. Your last point is spot on.

[debm55]

21. What is it?

[True Dough]

22. I don't know for sure,

but I don't believe it's a cat.

[True Dough]

32. Looks like we have an answer:

24. Carefully put it on the ground or a tree branch. Hercules Beetle.

Harmless to humans, ecological good guys. Look them up. Some folks keep them as pets.
Only the males have those outsized jaws. Used for fighting other males for the ladies. I expect a lady Hercules beetle would find the guy in the pic mighty hot.

[LogDog75]

25. Go home and change my underwear!

[Ocelot II]

26. Try not to scream "Get it off! Get it off!" and put it gently on the ground.

Then I would run away in case it came after me or there were more of them.

[GreenWave]

28. Let it enter your spine. Become a Goa'uld.

Then get battle gear.

29. Yikes! We had 4 Madagascar water bugs run onto the boat

...after a close lightning strike. They were 4" by 3" with pincers on the front. Hubby nailed 3 of them but one hid and wasn't found until the next day.

[ultralite001]
