Default RE: What is your craziest experience while bowhunting?

The craziest thing I have ever experienced while bowhunting????? Hmmmmmmm

Probably last year... I can't remember a time where I felt so concerned for my safety. I was perched in a stand ona high mountain saddle (4500 feet in elevation) when a nasty thounderstorm/high winds raced in on me and nearly blew me out of my stand. Both from the wind and intense thunder and lightening. I literally felt my internal organs shake when the thunder cracked right on top of my position, I watched lightening strike out on the ridge right in front of me. I went from thinking I was gonna wait out the storm to an all out concern for my life. I remember muttering the words "OK GOD, I am scared, help me get out of here" I gathered my stuff as the thunder and high winds and rain continued and the lightening kept flashing all around me. I bailed out of the tree and dashed off the mountain afraid of potentialtrees snapping around me... Imade it off the timbered mountaintoa logging road and hoofed it home a good mile as fast as I could as trees werecontorted in angles they shouldnt be able to withstand...I wasdrenched to the bone...
