Had the same problem with a horse last year. Stupid mare wouldn't leave me the HE11 alone! even scratched herself on the leg of my stand! Next sit, I brought my slingshot and picked up a few small rocks on the walk in.
problem. solved.
Edit: Okie beat me to it.

A couple years ago, I was in climbing stand. Got aggravated at the cows that decided to mill around below me. Then I noticed one full grown Angus with the rope I used to pull my gun up with wrapped around one foot. (the other end was tied to my stand)
Panic set in as I envisioned the cow realizing it was tethered, and bolting, dragging my stand down, wondering which would break first - my stand, my safety harness, or my midsection.
Thankfully the cow walked some more, the cord came unwound, and my heartbeat finally returned to normal.

There is a dead coyote over by that yellow bush, 98 yds away. More pics from the stand to come. Hopefully. 
I may have screwed the deer hunt for this evening, but I just don't pass on coyotes.
Wish I was in stand this evening. Work kept me busy until it was too late to risk entering the woods.
Nice shooting Dennis!

My 7 yo son is learning the fine art of being at statue with doe at 10y feeding with some small bucks dogging them........he's doing good on the outside....about to come uncorked on the inside though 
Heres some from the last few weeks.
I could hear this squirrel on my tree behind me getting very close so I switched the camera to the front of my phone to see if I could see it on the screen. It was only about 3 or 4 feet away and I was able to snap a couple pics before it moved on.
This little 7 point has come through several times. This day he probably roamed around within 20 yards for almost 3 hours. He showed up early before the sun came up and I could just hear him crunching up acorns.
Couple does. There was a group of 5 that were there several hours this day. These two ended up bedding down about 25 yards away. Had to wait till noon for them to move on. Then I hurried home for a late breakfast. My stomach had been growling for a while! haha
