Hello Dr. Mike, yes 3 time' s twice in upstate NY and once in Colorado, 1st time I had shot a deer in a valley and was tracking it uphill thru a clearcut towards a dirt road, pickup truck pulls up on the dirt road with four shotgun toteing guys in the bed, they begin blasting at the deer before the truck stops rolling, I' m directly in line with the deer and truck and the slugs are flying. I had always said that if someone shoots at me I' m shooting back, let me tell you when the bullets are flying all you try to do is make youself as small as possible, I managed to put 230lbs behind a 3 ft stump until the smoke cleared, next time I was standing on the side of a hill when a deer started running just below me, a guy at the bottom of the hill started shooting at the deer and the slugs were again heading in my direction, I dropped to the ground and made myself as small as possible, and lastly in Colorado I again was on a hillside about 600yds from a dirt road and had been trying to shoot a 9x7 muley with 5 does, biggest muley that I had ever seen, when 3 vehicles pulled up and started blazing from the road, now we' re not talking shotgun slugs these are 7mags and 300 win mag' s etc, bullets are flying everywhere and the deer are coming up hill between me and the road , I have an orange hat and vest on so I tried waving at the shooters , finally which seemed like ten minutes but was probably 30 sec, someone yelled from the road stop shooting theres a man out there, I had one round left and at about 80yds I managed to drill the muley directly behind the shoulder' s,unfortunately I discovered later that the .338 250 gr nosler drilled a neat .33 cal. hole in one side and out the other, I tracked him until someone else shot him ( it still makes me sick when I think about losing that deer) anyhow I managed to catch one of the shooters and turned him in to fish and game.
