Default RE: What was you SCARIEST hunting experience

Years ago I was up in a tree before light in my climber. It was early season and I had been in the same tree before. I sate there for several hours and during mid day I had closed my eyes for a couple minutes. I wasn't asleep (thankfully) My bow was in a hanger on the stand. Above me I hear wood splitting and cracking. I reach over and grab my bow off the hanger just before a 3-4 inch diameter limb came crashing down inches from the edge of my stand. I was wearing a harness as I remember but regardless had that hit my stand I'm sure I would have been hanging. Had it hit me, I'm sure I'd have been hurt bad. My guess is wind damage not to much before (a couple days) because it had some green leaves. I guess thats why I didn't notice it. I look alot closer now!!
