So my dad, my uncle brian, my brother Alex, and I go hunting after school today. Where we hunt, its behind my uncle marks house which is land the state owns. So we get setup, We get in our stands and were doing calls and rattling and what not. Not seeing anything. About an hour and a half louder, I hear "POOWW!!!!" behind me. sh*t my pants and almost fall out of my treestand. I look back and see some guy walking with a double barreled side by side shotgun with hunter orange on.... And I'm like, "Its not gun season?"
Then I thought, my uncles over there!!! So I yell over to my dad "This guys freakin shooting his shotgun on that trail".... So my dad starts walking to me (im still in my stand) and says to me, "Its not gun season" So he gets over to me and yells to the guy on the trail, "Its not gun hunting season!!!" AND THE GUY POINTS THE SHOTGUN RIGHT AT ME AND MY DAD!!!!! AND there was no mistaking us for game, 2 guys YELLING, one 6' 2" and me being 5' 6". So my dad BOOKS it over a hill behind me and Im still in my stand. My dad yells at me to get outta my stand and I FLY outta it. We yell over to my brother to sprint over here and we called my uncle to call the cops. Uncle is still in his stand and hes watching the guy walking along the trail. The hunter shoots AGAIN but doesn't go to look for what he shot at. Just keeps walking down the trail. Get back to the trucks and the cop is there. We give him the story and he goes and checks the parking lot that leads to the trail that cuts through where we hunt. Comes back with nothing. So we give him the DETAILED story and hes writing our information down on his notepad, then says, "Alright well, let us know if any other incidents happen".... In my head im like
WHAT THE f**ck DUDE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I later found out that the hunter shot his shotgun on the trail which is maybe 30 feet from my uncles stand TOWARD A DEER THAT MY UNCLE WAS DRAWN BACK AT!!!!
