Whether they be insects, stray dogs, bears, deers, etc.
Dangerous is in quotes because I don't expect these encounters to be necessarily dangerous, like this one.
I was about 7 or 8, and I was walking back from the gas station with my bike because something was wrong with it.
These two pit bulls came out of nowhere, and started running through the block, they probably just wanted to play, but I didn't know that at the time. They started getting near me, and a nearby adult took his belt off and started swinging at them, and I keep walking to the house because I didn't want to leave my bike behind, and plus they always told us not to run from dogs.
So, I'm almost to the house, across the street and two houses down, and I hear some people yelling, so I look back and the pits are bout 6-7 houses down and closing fast, so I'm like "I think I can make it." I throw the bike down, and cut across the street running straight to my house, I make it to the porch and get ready to open the screen door to use as a barrier, but they ended up just running past the porch and behind the house. -_-

When I was about 10 I walked out the house to take the garbage out. As soon as I stepped out the door a bat (yes, a bat) flew outta nowhere and hit me in the face. I dropped the garbage bag and broke out running.

Being in nature as much I've had some fairly eeerie and scary experiences.
One in particular,
I was 18, just left home for the first time, hunting by myself mostly for the first time. I was in Nebraska, in an area entirely new to me, and not a single other human being for miles and miles and miles. I was hunting in the hills on a small slough off a larger lake. It was pitch dark, in the hours of dumping bodies, and I started to hear a pack of coyotes howling in the distant hills. Then another group of coyotes started howling, and the another, and then another, then a group RIGHT BEHIND me starts howling, yipping and barking. So there are about 5 or 6 packs of coyotes yipping and howling sounding like a damn rebel yell with some right behind me.
Eventually the howling stopped and nothing happened, but damn that was scary being alone in the woods like that. -
I live around alot of fields/wooded areas so had a few encounters....
Bee/wasp hives almost had me a few times, had one mate who got caught up in a swarm, lucky to be alive.
Used to go out to the fields as a youngin to smoke weed and ? out the way of prying eyes... Many times been stampeded by cows/bulls protecting calfs end up stuck up a tree for hours lol.
Used to be a farm with stacked up hay bales few fields from where I lived, used to get ? in the bales and push them off the top rolling them into the brooks/streams and ? .
One day farmer pulled up but we didn't hear him step round the side of the open back shed it was stored in to a double barrel shotgun in my face lol could tell he wanted to pull the trigger.... My problem is I've been 6 foot+ since I was around 12-13 so from afar I would be mistook for an adult. (Not wildlife but was in wilderness I guess? Lol).
When cycling through my estate some old woman used to have a stereotypical Jack Russell.
Loud as ? yapping at everything and it hated bikes for some reason.
Going past her house one day and the little ? latched onto my "pant" leg almost made me bail and ? us both up, dog got put down shortly after as it managed to catch a youngin on his bike and ? him up.
Sure theirs more I just got a ? memory ill post up if any return, good thread potential though. -

Hahahaha in in tears at this one... -
Got chased by a moose for about 30 feet before it noticed a tree and started eating it.

Another.... Used to go hunting with my uncle.
Me, him and my nans dog.
One day was out shooting squirrels, he spots one, hits it but not a clean shot but it fell out the tree.... Went over to inspect for him, the ? was on some ninja ? hiding in the leaves.
Jumped out at me making that ? up noise they make and bit onto my boot (lucky I was wearing steel caps, grey squirrels will ? you up lol) I'm panicked as ? swinging my leg trying to get this demonic thing off me.. Uncle walks over casual as ? "hold still ya ? " stopped moving.
Being the funny guy my uncle is rather than removing the ? thing he shot it while it was still on my foot.
Hilarious now... I was silent as ? for the rest of that day tho. -
Getting Chased by Dogs is ? Funny as ? unless it's you getting Chased .
That ? be soooooo ? real when you got 2 Rottweilers running behind you brah lol -
Not directly related to wildlife, but I got reminded of this.
Went on a camping field trip when I was in 4th grade. When we went fishing they kept telling kids repeatedly to not run with the fishing poles, or you'll get hooked.
So, the next day some of us are on this trail in the middle of a wooded area, and there are two dumb ? running with their poles out, so I speed up before they can get near me.
By now I'm downhill, and they are still uphill ? around, there are some pine trees around and ? , wood chippings on the ground, and it just got done raining, so a fresh forest scent is in the air.
As I'm walking downhill listening to these two dumb ? giggling and ? , suddenly I hear someone howling, and I already knew what happened. I had my hands in my pockets, so I kind of turn to the side and look behind me to see the carnage. I'm looking from downhill, so all I see is dude on his tippy toes, and his back curved, and he has his face turned up to the sky with his eyes closed, and a face full of agony, howling like a wolf. Dude had hooked himself right in the gut, and I don't know why, but he was still pulling up on his fishing pole like he had just caught a fish.
I had a smirk on my face because I was mad at dude for almost getting close to me while he was fooling around like that.
The dude that was running with him hooked himself later in a separate incident.

was driving back from vegas and was sitting in traffic.
noticed a sign with a ram on it, i thought "where the ? are rams doing loose on the streets"
looked to the right and saw a ram behind a fence mean mugging.
i just rolled my window up and acted like i didnt even see it. -
Few years ago when i was in St. Lucia, a bunch our friends went to a beach restaurant...I was on the beach lying down alone trying to find constellations and heard a bunch of dogs barking....thought they were in the distance...
When i got up to see what everyone was up to, i was surrounded by like 7 or 8 wild dogs....lmao...i ended up slowly creeping away while they were growling at me... -
Jogging at a park at night. Thought i saw an alligator, turned out it was a iguana. Still was the fastest time i've ever cleared a lap. Still don't ? with iguanas.
-
One thing I forgot to add. After all the coyotes got done howling I was scared as hell, but I knew right then and there, this is the life for me. It was a very exhilarating experience.
-
Matter of fact, earlier i was chilling with my dogs at the park. talking, barking at foxes, and chicken heads. Watching cats play ball. then some pigs walked by ,eyeing us, snorting just stinking up the joint.

How bout that time when the neighbors pit missed my achilles by less than a inch when it caught my shoe as I was hopping the gate
-
I was painting at someone place who had a small horse. Bout waist height! lol Painting the posts, and this ? ept trying to chew my shirt and dip it's head in the paint bucket, and knock me off the ? ladder! I got no experience EVER with horses so got NERVOUS AS ? ! lol I cam down saying go away, just ? stop! and it got worse with me. So as I turned with my ladder I accidentally bumped it's head, it spun around and started kicking backwards (thankfully a metre or so away), and I darted for the gate crashing through with all my paint splashing all over the ground, no time to put lid back on. I said to the owner this ? tried to ? me! LOL
Horse got tied up. I finished job eventually and then laughed my ? ? off as painting and seeing this horse tied up ? . -

That wasn't even the worst part tho. This happened in an apartment complex. My pops, aunt, and uncle was playing cards and drinking on a 4th floor patio and saw the whole thing. After I came back to get the garbage bag, all I heard was muffled laughter. Then my pops gon clear his throat and try to get all serious like "Uhhh son you alright......" .
I didn't even say nothing back, I just threw the garbage in the dumpster, went back in the house and went straight to my room. Started playing video games. ? was mad hurt behind that........ -

lol elaborate -
I'm a city slicker but i came up ? around in the woodlands of various states in greater New England. I've seen bears foraging, I've heard rattlesnakes in the distance, I've ran with deer. None of that prepared me for the day that i backed into a yellow jacket nest. Those ? tore the back of my head asunder.

A lizard fell out of a tree onto my face. I survived.

I remember when both of my homies got chased by a rottweiler, when we was young.
Both of them wanted to borrow a Sega Genesis game I had & they was wrestling for in the middle of the street. Damian (the hood notorious rottweiler) broke free & chased my ? in the field. That dog put them on a high speed chase around the hood & then when they came back. One of my home boys was getting outrun by my other home boy, so he tripped him & put his foot in front of the dog's face while he took off running. I was dying laughing because when the rottweiler broke free, all you heard was these ? , screaming in the field like they was getting assaulted by that dog -
At another juncture in my life, i was kicking it with some hoes of a standard quality, and a pigeon decided to ? on my hand. Embarrassing to say the least.
