First time out (about 13) with my uncle, still dark, and heard the most terrifying screams. Guessing now it was a coon or rabbit. Second time with him, I was in the stand when a fox came running by. Been hooked on this sport ever since.

Worst thing was this: Sitting in my stand early, I heard something coming from my right. Minute later here comes my buddy walking by, kinda staggering a little and looking pretty messed up. Come to find out he went out that morning and got in his stand, remembered feeling a major headache come on, next thing he knew he was hanging upside down from his stand and it was light out. No idea how long he hung there. Gun fell out too, was stuck in the ground barrel first.
After a trip to the emergency room, Dr said it had somehting to do with his high blood pressure giving him trouble.
