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

About 5 years ago, my husband and I were hunting on Tea Table (Oregon) and we were walking on a road. We hear the twang of a bullet coming real close. I get sent airborn as my husband shoves me into the ditch and he follows closely behind. He' s instantly back into military mode (3 tours in Vietnam) and ready to start guarilla (sp?) warfare when a jeep pulls up and a guy hollars to get in. Hubby reluntantly followed me into the Jeep, I think he was torn between staying and settling the fire fight or letting me get in a rig with a perfect stranger. The guy said he was just fired on by some guys and he' s gettin out of there. We got in and drove out and ran into some other hunters who are telling us that there was someone on top of that rock and they' re shooting at anyone that comes onto " their" hunting spot to scare them off. Needless to say they were all ready to start a range war right there but came to their senses and found someone to report it to. Told our story and they said they' d take care of it. We came back to Tea Table a couple of days later and they were gone. Found what looked like a freshly broke camp. Hopefully they never return. We haven' t gotten tags for that area since then so we don' t know what has happend there lately.
