For all the people that said they've "heard bullets whizzing by their heads", I hate to tell you that when a bullet goes by your head, all you will hear a small crack (like when you snap yourfingers) not 'whizzing'. Bullets "whizzing" is what it sounds like when you see it on TV.

Luckily you are ok. I had a buddy of mine acidently shot my direction with his shotgun while we were dove hunting. I was sitting in a chair and he shot twice, but after the first shot I feel to the ground. I wasn't hurt, but my buddy learned a really good lesson!!

WRONG! you've never been in the woods and heard bullets prior to hitting something. THey make a distinct noise as they fly. I've never had one extremely close to me but would have no prob picking out the distinct sound they make.

RE: have you ever been shot at?
All of these stories are a reason why I think that rifle season should be ELIMINATED in populated eastern states. On my farm in PA, its nothing but farm country. Houses all around and on tops of hills. Not much room for a high powered rifle bullet to be flying around.
I'm an archery hunter and I can kill deer with slugs if I have to, so if the game commission said no more rifles starting tomorrow it wouldn't bother me. All rifle seasons do is give people who are not very good hunters at all a fighting chance at actually killing a deer, or somebody. I admire Ohio's shotgun only season

Sorry, duckbutter you are WRONG...I've been shot at in combat, shot over in infantry training, and had thousands of bullets fly bya couple feet over my head in the rifle butts on a rifle range...bullets don't 'whiz'...they make a snap (from the bullet making a small sonic boom as it goes by). If a bullet is 'whizzing' the shot came from a hell of a long way away or has riccocheted off something prior to approaching youand the speed of the bullet is petering out. Any veteran will tell you the same thing, bullets don't whiz...incoming artillery and rockets 'whiz'...
