RE: have you ever been shot at?
My family owns land in Nebraska, and there was a giant turkey population there at this time, and my great-grandfather who owned it would let hunters hunt there, and my dad andmy uncle were hunting up there at the same time these hunters from New York were.
Anyway, my uncle and dad notice a stampede of turkeys coming toward them, and they're looking into the stampede and looking for a large tom to shoot, and then, these guys from New York are coming over the hill emptying their magazines into the "herd" not even making sure that they hit anything! Several rounds of pellets whistle by my dad and uncle'sheads, and then the yell at the New Yorkers, who then stop firing.
My dad and uncle ask them what the heck they're doing, and they claim they're hunting.
My great-grandfather never allowed hunters on there again, except for family.
