close call this morning

[hornzilla]

Guys please be safe at all time when out hunting. I know we talk about being safe in a stand, chance of someone accidently shooting us.
But this morning I had a very scary thing happen. Where I need to park at in my property I need to walk up the road about a eighth of a mile before I walk down my field. Well I'm walk down the road with head light on. When I hear a car coming fast on the gravel road. Where I'm at the field is 3 feet higher than the road so I'm about trapped. I end up turning around to the on coming car. Now I have head light and hand held on. This ******* came by me going at least 50mph or more. I step off in ditch against the bank and he was so close I could have slapped the windshield.
If it had been a truck with tow mirrors it would have hit me.
Anyways guys and gals. Be safe at all times. Just glad I made it to stand. What a way to start morning.

Glad you're okay and nothing more happened!

a poacher almost shot me on my way to my stand one afternoon. It is all out there, just keeping your eyes open helps a lot.

Wow! Guys that is scary..

We just never know and as hunters we are more aware of things around us than most other people.

Glad your okay. I would of threw something at them. Lol

Yep glad you were OK. We have to close a gate behind us coming and going at our spot. You have to pull partially in the road, about 1/4 vehicle wide to have room to close the gate. Monday night after my hunt, while closing it, my truck was hit by someone. My lights were on, it was raining and wet, the guy told the cop he was probably going too fast for weather conditions. The cop said I would likely be listed as primary cause for leaving an unattended vehicle in the roadway. I asked how else I was supposed to accomplish the task then, that we have been doing it for 14yrs with no problem. He said to be more careful next time! Then found out someone else that was let in to hunt on the property killed one of the huge bucks we had on cam. Double kick in the shorts!

Idk if they were trying to be funny or if they have something against hunting.
I wish I had a brick with me this morning. Then it would have been funny.
