Default RE: Hunters, anyone almost get shot while hunting?

About 15 years ago I was turkey hunting and working a bird close to the fence bordering our farm, I didnt know that another hunter was on the other side of the fence calling to the same bird. The bird walked between us and by some coincidence we were all in a perfect line. The other hunter shot at the bird and missed, the bird came directly at me and he fired again. Luckily he was about 75 yards away and I had on thick clothes. I kept my head and shoulders behind my tree and only had a few pellets hit me in the leg and thigh, no serious injuries, but it still hurt like hell. That scared me pretty bad and he felt awful and apologized repeatedly, turns out he was a friend of the family, I was really lucky.
