Scariest wildlife I've seen (while I was on a bike) were three rednecks fighting over a Toro pushmower. One guy was in his underwear, but you couldn't really tell, as his beergut draped over his fruit of the looms, so he looked naked, or at least like peter griffin naked. They were only about five feet away when they started pounding each other and flinging the mower by the handle. Lots of hair grabbing. The boyfriend was doing the hairgrabbing, the girlfriend was beating the hell out of the boyfriend. The guy in the underwear was not going to lose his mower by golly.

Other wildlife- bunches of bears, wild turkeys, and two bobcats. One bear crossed our path on a night ride about 10 feet in front of us. He turned around and started walking back towards us. That got interesting.

Deer- up on the parkway one night, I stopped and was surrounded by about 50+ deer (I couldn't count any higher/keep track). They were bedding in the grass. All looking at me. 100% silence. All I could see where the reflections of their eyes with my bike light. That was a bit weird.

I did get in a race with several fawn the other day. The deer will run out in front of you, and then run in the same direction as you. I've had several bear do this too. Smaller bears run like stuffed animals would, ears all floppy and such, and I had one in front of me, so I was essentially chasing him for a bit.

The rednecks were the scariest though.
