Default Close encounter

I was sitting a bedding field the evening of the 2nd waiting for a doe to walk out on the path. THere was only like a half hour left of shooting hour, then suddenly a gunshot goes off like 50 yrds away across the creek. It sounded like it was facing away, so I wasn't worried, then there was a second, sounded more at an angle, but still no worry. There was a long pause, then a 3rd shot, I heard it ricocheting behind me in the brush about 15 feet off. Needless to say I hit the deck in case there was a fourth shot, but it didn't come. Then I came up on a hunter and his doe, he was hunting the same trail that I was, just on the other side of the creek, from another guys property. I let him have the deer anyway, why waste my tag on a deer I didn't shoot. It was a kinda stirring experience, made me sweat a little.
