About 4 years ago I had a rather unnerving experience.

I saw 1 Buck and 3 does go over a couple rises away and followed then, and I had a doe tag. So I followed, and then got a medium sized doe about 3 years old. The doe falling spooked the others and they ran down a cut making a hell of a racket. I was looking through the binos to make sure the doe was down, when I heard the racket starting again and coming toward me.

I looked down and say the buck and remaining 2 does at about 300 yds and running toward me. They came straight at me, so I hit the dirt, when they got about 50 yds from me i heard a string of shots from an AK. They do make a particular sound when fired in your direction. I heard the bullets were bouncing off the hill behind me about 10-15 feet higher. The deer kept on coming. Mule deer look dainty when " stotting" , but up close they looked like a herd of clydesdales on a trampoline.

Never saw the " hunter" . He had to be running while he shot, shooting uphill at running deer. The group came to within 15 yrds of me at full out spped. Non were hit.
