So, here it is.
I'm out trying to whack a couple yotes and make back the cost of my ammo. It's about 4:00pm, and I've already been out for 2 hours. I found this lovely hill that I can lean against to provide wind cover and a great camo spot. I'm sitting with a buddy who has far less patience than I, and is starting to get antsy about sitting around. So, we sit for another 1/2 hour and then decide to pack it and head home.
So, just before we leave my friends farm, I decided to drain the lizard before the drive back home. I jokingly call back to my friend, "If anything comes at me, shoot it!"
So, I head to a very small group of trees. (I mean small. Like 20 feet by 8 feet. And I proceed to drain the lizard. And then the sh*t hit the fan.
I've got my pants down, and the bush explodes in movement. Now, from the position I'm in, I can't see a damned thing. All I know is that I have a very small knife, and something is uppity. My buddy on the other hand, sees the white-tail doe that sprung up.
So, I am trying to run the frig away from whatever is coming at me, with my pants down and still draining. Scared the bejeezus out of me. And my buddy is laughing like a full-bore idiot, while I'm pumped on adrenaline. Please remember my pants are still down and I'm trying to escape. Running with your pants undone in several layers ain't exactly easy.
Let me tell you, there is no worse suprise than getting jumped while taking a leak. Funny stuff, but for pete's sake, make sure there ain't anything in there before you go.
