Hunting Forum

I finally found serenity when I took up bowhunting as well as my trapping. Six months out of V Nam I was hunting public grounds. When all the shooting started I high tailed it to my truck and back home. Eventually I was able to go back out gun hunting BUT when there's a lot of shooting going on I'm on that edge that only a Vet can define its those times the woods takes me back to the jungle. Even bowhunting I have to check out every sound but that may be a good thing as it might be my deer.

I don't have much trouble now but back for a while after I returned to the "World", loud noises made me duck and seek cover. Those who had no experience thought it was funny or were just confused.
I was married when I went over, that only lasted a few more years, she just couldn't wait for me to be all together again, there was lots of that went around. It was like parts of my mind went into hiding. Been married to my current wife for 30 + years now, got it right this time.
Gut I am glad you found the best way for you and I hope the others who have those lingering "confusions" (for want of a better word) can find their way out of that "jungle".

What was funny to me is they had a "General Quarters" siren where I was stationed out of. Yeah like we needed to have a siren when we had incoming mortars etc.!!!!

I hear what your saying gutpile...our scud alerts were tornado sirens when I first came home and still to this day I hear a tornado siren I reach for my pro-mask.....getting better about it now but just instilled in my brain....
