Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Close calls you were fortunate or blessed to have survived.

I'm writing a book on this subject.
There's so many times, that there's no doubt that the Lord's hand of protection was upon me every time.

Ill just say that life has been interesting.

The first close calls were from my mom's second husband. It wasn't enough that he'd try to drive a wedge between my mom, dad and I. When he'd get me alone, he'd look for ways to kill me and make it look like an accident. The first time that I can remember target practicing as a boy, he almost blew my head off with a 12 ga. I still remember the blast across my face......the exploding gasses from the end of that barrel. I can't explain why the load didn't catch me. It was likely a fraction of an inch from my eyes.
He was a genuine psychopath.

That guy with the shark eyes that just shot that little boy?
That was like him, except he was of Dutch ancestry.
