I haven't been going much these past couple weeks. Wish I had more to post, but I don't so I'm starting a thread about arrowhead hunting stories. So if you find yourself bored and would like to share go for it. I haven't got very many that are truly exiting, but I have a few, and one that's so I exiting I can't share, it involves dark clouds and eerie howling winds..ok ok I already said too much. I could tell ya about when I was shot at from a ridgetop. They must have shot at me 10 or 12 times with a 22 I think. But thats about all there was to that story. Of course I kept hunting. I was allowed to be there. I have a good one though that I will share, happened 12 years or so ago. One that got my heart pounding faster than it ever had or probably ever will again. Me and the wife and son(4y.o.) and daughter(21/2 y.o.) went in a real nice big field along the scioto river near chillicothe. We always pulled out a lot of ft ancient birdpoints there, and some adena stuff. Well we had hunted for probably going on 2 hours and was pretty much starting to hunt it out. I remember I was going over areas twice and trying to figure out where I hadn't stepped yet, my wife was in the distance walking with my daughter, and I was walking with my son. This field was very flat, a road split this field from an even bigger one and well the whole area was field as far as the eye could see and right along the field we were looking in, ran the scioto river It had been raining and flooding in the area for weeks, the scioto was running very very hard and fast, and was very full of water. Well in time I look to my side and I don't see my son, I quickly looked just in my immediate area, and just assumed he headed over towards my wife. I didn't bother to look over there because I just figured he went that way, so I kept my eyes glued to the ground as I had been doing, some time passes I suppose 10 minutes and my wife comes in my view in the distance. I look over at her and she's still walking with our daughter, and just our daughter, It then hit me that I needed to look around for my son, so I do and he is nowhere in sight. There are no places he could be hiding behind its all field, and there sat the scioto in front of me running that hard, thats when I panicked, my wife panicked, we ran to the river, he was nowhere to be seen, there was nothing we could do, and I knew by looking at that water running that hard that if he did go in it then he was definately gone. I was about to drop to my knees in total anguish and dismay, but I somehow got myself and wife up to the field with our only option, going for help. We ran to the car, opened the door and there he was. Sleeping. We never thought to check the car.
