After a long day loading hay for a friend yesterday I headed back to my truck and took a long drink from the water can I had in the bed. I just put the can down when I hear a loud thump about a foot away like some one through a rock at the side of my truck. When I look, what do I see but a .30 cal bullet stuck in the side panel. Well, brother you can bet that I got out of there fast along with all the fellas that were working with me. About 15 min later after we call the county sheriffs office we went back out and I found another bullet had hit my truck (through the window) and a car of a kid that was working for us that day nine yards away. Well the county mounty showed looked at the cars then pulled out a map and we went over all the places that some one might be shooting from because we never heard the shots while working (tractor noise and all). This didn’t help much because not all the roads in the area are listed on county maps. Finally I had to pull out a 1/3inch dowel rod and compass and did a rough back azimuth on the two holes and tried to triangulate about where these idiots were shooting from. The farmer remembers an old tractor trail that ran in the area where we thought these guys might be shooting from. Well to make a long story short we found new tire tracks, hundred 30-06 cases and a 2x4 driven into the ground on the backside of a low hill almost a mile away. The sheriff wrote all sorts of stuff in his little notebook got all our names and went along his merry way saying that he will let us know if they find out anything. The next day we got permission from the landowner with the trail on it and blocked the trail off with a five-foot high pile of dirt and logs after explaining what happened the day before.
Never thought it would happen to me.
Never say never!
