I had a guy pull a gun on me this morning. Police Phone call page 9.
This morning I went behind my house to hunt, I diddnt see anything, so at 9:00 as scheduled, I call my friend and see what he saw and if we are going to link up.
Well I left my guard down completely, and we talked for about 5-6 minutes, and I hung up the phone, well I was like forget this im outta here, I bend down and start pulling my draw rope up and I get it to me and I catch movement out of the corner of my eye, I turned to the left and see a guy walking, and I can see that he dosent have any arrows with him but he's carrying a bow, and the bow looks like its broken, i mean the limb looked 100% cracked for sure. So I'm like o.k. Theirs something fishey going on here, and I dont like this one bit, my hearts pounding out of my chest, and he's sneaking along, but then he looks my way and see's me, well as soon as he did he turned and threw his arms in disgust, and then he looks back looks away and started swearing, Im like hollie crap what do I do?? So I dont move or anything, I just sit there solid as a rock, but my hearts pounding out of my chest, anyhow, I sit there and I'm watching him F this and F that, I dont have good hearing so at 20 yards I cant pickup what he's mumbling, and he looks back at me and reaches down to his side and pulls a pistol... Im like ohh my god I'm going to get shot and noone knows I'm here.
He's waving his gun around F this and F that I still diddnt say anything I couldnt think of anything to say either, So he eventually starts real slow pacing back and fourth, he stops turns and walks away all huffy, and is still F this and F that (i think)
Im like OK its time to go.... NOW.
So I climb down throw all my gear together, and I took the back way out... I'll tell you what I'm gonna be a little shy about going to hunt there again. I'll tell you what I havent been that scared since my climber slipped
I know what everyone is going to say "why diddnt you call the cops?" I diddnt because what would I say??? I was hunting and a guy who was hunting came walking up and then started waving a pistol? no officer I diddnt get a description as he was wearing glove facemask and I've never seen him before (This spot is behind my house btw so I know all the locals) So reguardless Im not going to call the cops or anything just steer clear of this place for a while.

Did he have a gun or point a gun at you? Big difference IMO.

RE: I had a guy pull a gun on me this morning.
I totally disagree and would have called the cops. By leaving and letting that place go, he wins and that was his entire agenda. You could have described him to the cops as you sat there and he walked around cursing. He would have seen your phone and probably high tailed it out of there. If you have a right to be there and he doesn't, your simply letting that moron win and that's a shame.
