[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 3016001, member: 118066"] It was in the late 80s I was hunting deer on Pelham Range in the Anniston Alabama area. It a large track of Army training land, Tanks, small arms, mortars, etc. But its eat up with deer. It's shotgun only and black powder guns, at the time it was shotgun and archery. I was in the block of land I had a permit for slipping along a fire break when I saw two good bucks chasing a doe. I squated down and brought up my shotgun, which had a low power scope on it. Just as I was about to fire the doe changed direction and headed straight for me. I'm thinking great. Just as they were about thirty yards away gunshots started. I could see the slugs impacting around me. A guy and his 15 year old son opened up on the bucks, and they knocked one down a few yards from me. I'm curled up in a ball screaming for them to stop firing, I've no idea how they could have shot at the bucks and not seen me. Orange baseball cap, large orange vest. I was shaking with anger and being scared S+-#$less. But got up and shot one of the bucks that was trying to get up that I paced to eight yards. The man was in bad shape realizing what had happened. The kid tickled he killed a buck. The doe changed direction because she ran into them. Yeah, public land has issues. I always hunted from tree stands after that day. [/QUOTE]
