my scariest moment happened a few years ago. I had my oldest son out on his first opening day of our gun deer season. we hunt private land and a few locals there were not happy about us having permission. I was in a treestand and he was on the ground 50 yards down the hill from me. And then the shooting started. Not shooting at a deer but someone shot 20-30 times pretty much non stop and the bullets were hitting all around us. I yelled to my son to get behind a tree and I headed down the stand and took cover. The whole time I am whistleing and yelling and I finally had to fire a round in the dirt to get them to stop. I don't think it was done on purpose and I never found out who did it. But when you see bullets hit 10 yards from you thats bad enough but imagine having a front row seat to them hitting around your child. yea, that by far is my scariest moment.
