I've been shot "near" when I'm sure the hunters shooting didn't know I was there.
But I'll never forget as a kid, dad and I were deer hunting, stopped for lunch on the side of a forestry road in eastern Manitoba, a deer came out way down to our right, and the shooting down the road started.
We hit the deck and I remember practically burrowing into the ground.
It was scary....I'll never forget the "zzzziiippp" "zzziiiinng" kind of cracking sound the bullets made as they whizzed by. Almost like a ripping sound.
I'll never forget that sound, and I've never stopped on the side of the road in a hunting area since.
