Re: Almost had a ND

I had one ND. I was 16 at the time. And now I'm an old gray haired man and it still scares me to think about it. The first deer I ever killed I had climbed up on the limb of a tree to hunt. (No, I didn't have a stand.) I tied a rope on my gun and pulled it up after I got on the tree limb. It was not loaded at the time. When I shot the buck I got so excited I immediately wanted to get down. I started lowering my gun back to the ground with the rope and something hit the trigger and it went off about halfway down. :shock: Luckily it was pointed at the ground. In my excitement I had neglected to clear the chamber, or put the safety on.

My heart was already racing with buck fever, and when the gun went off I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I will never forget how bad that scare was.
