I was charged by a dog. Dog was totally silent and had his tail down. I was holding a shovel. I put it between me and him and he circled trying to find an opening. When I stabbed with the shovel and popped him on the noggin, he decided to go somewhere else.
But no, I guess not a wild animal, unless you count a Tarantula Hawk. |

Had a male Mallard jump on my head after I chased him out of my pool. If video of said event were ever published, I'd change my name and move to Zimbabwe.

A Blue Jay was my first experience with an attacking animal when I was a kid, dove at my head and drew blood in 2 places while I was running for cover. Shot Blue Jays all summer with my bb gun that year. A few years later an angry opossum bit me on the bare foot, I did harass it quite a bit with a sharp stick before it bit me, got a nasty infection from that one. Had 3 different snake bites but none were from venomous snakes, one of them was last year as I was trying to free a king snake from a net, he didn't appreciate what I was doing for him apparently.
One year I was deer hunting with a friend during archery season. He shot a small buck and came to get my help, he wasn't confident in his shot placement but knew he had hit it. We tracked it for about an hour and had separated a bit after we lost the blood trail. I spotted it and called to him just as I approached it, the damn thing was still very much alive and came after me with a vengeance. I was basically riding its head around in circles trying to stay away from the hoofs and antlers. It collapsed after a few seconds which, to me, seemed like several minutes. I wouldn't let go of it until he had damn near cut its head off. We still laugh about that day. Several times I have confronted black bears but haven't had any close encounters where I thought I was about to be attacked. |

Buddy of mine was attacked by a Great Dane.
He fucked that dog ALL up. Story was, a friend of his (since before I knew him) was going out of town and needed my buddy to go over and check on something. Now, the guy knew his Great Dane could cause some problems. One reason why he sent my buddy, because he knew the dog and he can take care of himself. Said he unlocked the door, carefully stepped in, and stood there waiting for the dog to show up. Said he was looking and turning around and WHAM!! Never heard the dog coming and never saw it. Almost had to put the dog down by the time my buddy was through with him. Said he was hoping he would give up or take off before he had to kill it. Story is, from then on, that dog took off running when my buddy came around. |

Armadillo.
I was drunk and chased him. Suddenly, he leapt straight up in the air and came down facing me. I can still him in mid air, in the headlight glow, with his legs sticking straight out from his shell. He chased me across a field and onto the hood of my car. I was loaded. True story. |

Yeah, got bitten by a garter snake once, guess I should have fed it a little more. I let it go shortly thereafter.
 Otherwise, mostly mosquitoes and yellow jackets as MM has said (well, they aren't really animals).....

I sat quietly in the woods a few years back trying to catch a baby turtle i saw disappear in a small pool of water. Figured i'd just sit and wait for him to come back up for air. About 5 min into my sitting a Raccoon came strolling down the path right toward me and i just stayed silent until he was about 3 feet away. He froze in his tracks when he winded me and i moved. Guess he didn't want to risk turning his back on me that close because it was on at that point.
It was a good fight and i had not so much as a blunt stick. You learn a lot about yourself in situations like this. I learned that at 16 years old in shorts and a t-shirt that I was a dead even match for a 30lb coon. No idea how long the fight actually lasted but it seemed like a long time. In the end we were both bleeding but neither was seriously injured. I'm calling it a draw but the coon clearly thought he won. I was ok with letting him think that as long as he would quit chewing on me. |

I was in high school, and I was about to leave home. I'm pretty sure it was during the rut. I was loading some things up in my car, and my dog was hanging out with. I heard a crashing noise, and a buck came out of the woods and charged for me. I tried to get my ass in the car, but I was too slow. My dog, a pudgy chocolate lab, growled and barked up a storm and chased it off. If he hadn't done that; I would have been put in a world of hurt.

I was "investigated" up-close and personal by a black bear while I was sleeping out in the open in Shenandoah National Park. It woke me up with its nose on my face. Believe it or not you can remain completely still and hold your breath when you wake up and see one. Were you expelling at the other end? I've been bit by a ground squirrel and chased by geese. |

Twice. By squirrels.
In my defense, I was young and trying to rescue the stupid things. Now I just shoot them.
And, yes, I know it was dumb. I also mentioned I was young. And dumb. Rate of learning increased as i got older.

My dachshund surprised a squirrel running under the back yard fence. Such a sweet dog yet when it got that squirrel in its jaws it thrashed it back in forth like a great white with a seal. Dog is growling "grrr grr grr", squirrel is screaming "eee eee eee!" I yelled "Holy shit" and ran over to break it up, pulling the squirrel from certain death and it thanks me by biting my hand.
I went to the ER for fear of rabies and the first thing they ask me is was I trying to pet the squirrel. LOL |
