dangerous evening!

[Looper]

To add another thought.  If that happens again, and you have your cellphone, call the cops immediately.  They won't waste any time getting there when you tell them you're being shot at.

[Ragnarok Forge]

Pretty simple really, anyone firing a weapon at you is a lethal threat and knows it well.  If you can get a cop there great if not!  You have the inviolable right to life and safety.  If it happened a second time there would not be a third time if I was involved.  No one has a right to put you at that kind of risk.  You legally and morally have the right to stop it with all necessary force.  

These kind of people can not be reasoned with.  Let the cops handle it until your life is at immediate risk, then you can't wait.

do you have a couple trail cams? how would this person know you were in there? your vehicle? if so they must be driving in in order to see you're parked in the area.put out a couple trail cams aimed at the road.try and use the flashless kind if you have them.park a vehicle in the same spot but leave the area in another.see what the cameras catch.ya never know.

Probably some dumb kid with a 10/22 and a buddy with a shotgun burning shells, not even knowing where their bullets/shot was going.

Oh yea, fire back (at an unkown/unseen target), and get lucky and kill one of them.

Bet that'll help quell the macho nonsense.

Don't listen to the geniuses telling you to fire back. you put a round into a 12 yr old and your gonna turn a teaching moment into something far more sinister.

Now I didn't use a sarcasm emoticon but the following statement to the one in question should have made it obvious.

[Hookeye]

BTW, out of context quotes and spin tend to rile me.

[stringstretcher]

Might have someone in the police department check things out.  You may have been real close to a patch of those funny trees growing.

[ChuckC]

Be careful. .  it could easily have been a couple kids just shooting at "stuff" and having no idea that they were impacting you. Dumb  yes.   dangerous, yes.  

Someone yelling off in the distance could be perceived as just that.

I wouldn't drop it, but I wouldn't go off on my own. .  get the police involved.

When i was in Iraq i was in some fire fights and i know what its like to be shot at and hear the bulets ping, zip, and snap. It will sure get the heart pumping.
I am a flint knapper and i collect flint to knap here in TN. Last summer i was collecting some flint here in TN and had to guys come up on me in the woods with a gun and a dog and strongly inseasted i dont go over into the next holler.
I supect they had a pot field or moonshine opp goin on over there.
That stuff happens but then again it culda just been youging goofin off to.

[chopx2]

Been shot at once bird hunting and I was watching the guy mount his gun and swing on the pheasant directly between me and him. I ducked and ran in the opposite direction and heard the shot go by. We wer in a wide open field of cut wheat.

Suffice it to say I'm never hunting with that jerk again and he's never being invited back onto the property owner's land either. Apparently i wasn't the only one he shpt at that weekend!

Some people are just plain irresponsible and should not be allowed to have weapons period!

I hope you get the A******

Follow-up with the local authorities for sure. If the area game warden will offer it, get his cell number if you have a tower signal out that far. Call him/her directly when you have trouble.

I agree with this.

[owlbait]

Been shot at a couple times. Don't care much for it either. Just don't let your anger put you into a bad spot. Wait until you have had time to contact others and cool off. Then form a plan that makes sense. If you hollered and they continued either they didn't hear you or....Glad your safe, good luck taking care of this.

[barkrider]

Enough good advice out here...

Glad your OK

That **** is wrong!

[fireball31]

Hookeye.  Didn't mean to rile you.  I was quoting you because you said it better than me.  I forgot to add a plus one. LOL

[2Knives]

Where were you at, I want to make sure I'm not out there.
I've also been shot at more than once...I ain't fun!
Last time was from a guy Lope hunting with his AR, with a 30rnd magazine...he used all the shells.
Bad thing is I know the guy, I told him he was an idiot and I never hunted around him again.
Be careful!

[yekrut]

oK, I called the gmae warden, and I know another bowhunter out there and he said there were some kids out there last night hanging around on top,but he did not know if it was the smae people who shot at me on wen, but the warden is patroling the area for a few dyas, I do feel a little better, My dad and I went and checked on my stand tonight and it was ok, so I think I may go back out to hunt sometime in the up-coming week? But geez I mean people are crazy! I'll keep ya'll posted once I go back out agian!

[d. ward]

Dude what ever you do do not return fire trust me on this one.Good grief if its a couple of 12 year old kidds just burning ammo and you put a round in one of them your bow hunting spot will be gone for a long time as will you.Little late in the season to be croping I'd be more inclined to believe there just idiots.But please call the fuzz do not shoot back bd

[yekrut]

I won't shoot back I don't want to lose my beautiful arrows I made!! Hopefully that will be the last time this year that happens, I will probley start hunting agian on mon? or sun eve? possibley!
