Default Nebraska Scare

As some of you know myself, Hunsucker and Jeff all went to Nebraska this week for an archery turkey hunt. The trip went well for the most part. Yesterday afternoon we entered some property we had permission to hunt and noticed a Jeep parked about 1/2 mileup the hill from us on the same property. They were shooting a .22 and we thought it was a little odd because we thought no one else was suppose to be on the property. We were going to call the landowner but we had not cell phone service. The jeep eventually drove off and we proceeded into another field to hunt. We set up in a corn field that was bordered by a gravel road about 300 yards away. About an hour into the hunt we were sitting there and out of the blue, Jeff says in a joking manner "I know theres hardly any traffic but what if someone shot at our decoys from the road?" We kind of laughed and said ya right. It wasn't 20 seconds and we heard a .22 round. We said that sounded like it came from the road. Then 2 more shots fired and we heard the bullets whizz by! We immediately jumped up and started yelling. It was the guy in the Jeep from earlier standing next to his Jeep from the gravel road shooting at our decoys! He stopped shooting and just stared at us. We then started walking that way. He stood there for a moment then got in his Jeep and slowly drove away. We could not get his License number and had no cell phone service to call anyone. It was a one of the scariest times of my life and am glad no one was hurt. We were in the middle of no where and would have had a big dilemna if someone was shot. We reported the description of the vehicle but who knows if anything will turn up. Definitely glad to be alive!
