Several years ago I was at Freedom Hills on a gun hunt. I was in my early twenties and dumb. I went in blind and carried a climber what I thought was far enough to be out of harms way. I setup on a spot where two hollers met and I had a bluff to my left with a wind hitting my face. About an hour after daylight I hear something coming. Low and behold the first thing I see is an orange boggin so I tell myself I'll let them pass and keep sitting. The hunter stops between me and the bluff, looks around then starts kicking leaves. I had never hunted from the ground so I had no clue what he was doing then it hit me as he plumped down at the base of a tree looking the direction he just came from. I let everything get calmed down a few minutes then I whistled at him to let him know I was there. He perks up looks around digs in his bag and (wait for it wait for it wait for it)he pulls out a grunt call and blows it. I cant believe what just happened so I whistle again. He answers with another grunt while spinning his head. We repeated that again and the last time I whistled I was waving my orange and he still had no clue where I was. I don't know if he thought the God was letting him know a buck was coming or what. I was not mad at him for hunting on top of me due to being public land but I was scared for my life so I threw my pack 30 feet to the ground and started down. I never said a word, just left. I then took a nap in the truck waiting on my buddies. About the time I get to sleep I hear a knock on the window. I raise up, roll the window down and an older gentleman apologizes for his son coming in on me. I told him there was no need to apologize I wasn't upset for him doing that and to tell his son than you for me. Thanks to him I'll more than likely never hunt a WMA gun hunt again. Not long after the man left the boy came by in a truck so I know he was atleat 16. I stuck to my word for a few years but I dang sure am aware of my surroundings when I go to a WMA now.
Brent was you at Freedom hills in early 2000 wearing dark RayBans. If not I think this boy must have borrowed them.
