I have no ear protection since it doesn’t fit well on my skull crusher.> the eyes follows me a half a mile back to the car close the ground > scanning frantically intensifies >looks around me and then back to the eye. One hand on the reset button another on the pistol grip of my rifle *Yhaaaaaaooooooooo hoooooo hooooo*
> right behind me >turn around with rifle in both hands >night vision turns off before I can turn back around towards eyes> drop rifle press button on night vision >25 year old tube springs to life to reveal an ugly dog with more eyes behind him >oh shit moment , I bring my rifle up and point shoot > fucking muzzle flash and my ears are ringing as I let off a few shots.> hot gas in my face also don’t know why but the smell of gun powder is very strong >book it back to my car and throw the ar15 in the passenger seat and drive out >later park in a church parking lot and unload it and put it in my trunk to not seem like a mass shooter in full Swiss camoHell of a first time out, that forest was the most spooky I have ever hiked in ,till this day.
