our bow season runs through primitive and gun seasons.on opening morning my wife and i pull into the drive of an old farm( that the owners who had moved to town some yrs back had given us permision to hunt)to see 2 strange pickups parked.we talked it over and decided to go ahead and hunt after all there was plenty of room and we were bow hunting on the west side of the property they surely would be on the east. we headed to my wifes stand first it was the closest to the truck and i like to make sure she gets into her stand ok.but when we got there her stand was gone! I am instantl mad I sent her back to the truck and told her to lock uo and call the owners and the law I took off to my stand and it was gone also! even madder now I stomp through the woods heading towards the west determined to find me a couple of guys!as I get to a draw I see hunter orange sitting on the ground so I slow my approach and ease up behind the guy about 10yrds from him I see him get his gun ready I gues he thought I might be a deer I rushed around the tree with my bow raised up like a club!man his eyes got big he asked me who I was and what I was doing at the same time I was asking him the same thing.he said this is my uncles place I told him that I had permission to hunt here and where was my stands?we got it all figgured out his uncle had failed to tell him that he had given me permision to hunt also. you can bet I wont hunt anyone down again with a bow durring gun season thuogh!I shook in my boots after I calmed down!
