I' ve had an experience or two with bullets bouncing around me, one of them almost dictating return fire!....

I was hunting a stand that was about 4ft up inside a hollow tree (rotted out like a crescent moon, just took a mount inside, some orange paint on the outside and viola!), it was about 20yrds from the property line, I hear a gunshot very close coming from the other side of the line (where virtually NO ONE was supposed to be hunting), next thing I knew, this loud THUNK-KUNK rings up my tree, I bale out of the stand, and look under my stand, there' s a huge splintered hole coming through the one side of the crescent, and a goodly one on the otherside, so I hit the deck, a good sized doe came running almost over the top of me followed by two younger does, and another shot ripped through the leaves, I hollered out to the ' hunter' , but another shot came, then I heard him running through the brush towards me, I peeked up, and he' s got his rifle leveled almost right at me, I was right between him and the deer, I rolled out a shot into the ground to get his attention and hollered if he didn' t port his rifle I might have to drop it for him...sorry, didn' t see you there he says.
