[QUOTE="DMD, post: 5282377, member: 2937"] I've had several close encounters and weird events. The most embarrassing is probably from this year, as I did everything wrong you could possibly do. And everyone of them...I knew better. I'd already killed a good buck the first of muzzleloader and I had a desire to check out some new property. It joins a lease I used to have and I had seen a logging road going into that public property. I unloaded my four wheeler that morning and headed up that road which headed up the side of a ridge (Mistake #1 - taking an unknown logging road up a ridge). At first, the road went along the side of the ridge, but quickly turned straight up - but I pressed on (Mistake #2 - I always like to investigate on foot new, uphill routes). The leaves where deep in the old road (Mistake #3 - never drive uphill or downhill on a logging road when you can't see what's underneath the leaves. I knew I was in trouble as soon as I started up the steep part, but of course, I couldn't stop..I was looking to pull of, but the terrain just made it difficult and I made the split second decision not to pull off...looking back, I should have. Before I knew it, I hit a rock under the leaves and the four wheeler tipped over backwards on top of me. I managed to push it off as it was coming down on me. It was upside down, I knew immediately I hurt my back and the thought I might be paralyzed ran through my mind initially. My back was killing me, I was embarrassed and angry at my stupidity. I had no phone signal, but I wasn't very far from my truck at all. I sat down and calmed down. Thought the situation through. I was able after much effort to get my four wheeler flipped over. It was flooded, but I got it started after letting it sit a little while. I walked it carefully back down the hill. I loaded it on the trailer and thought I'd just go check some trail cameras on my lease. By the time I checked one, I knew I couldn't do anymore. My back was killing me. Ended up being all right, I'm still dealing with a little residual back pain, but almost to 100%. I've had cringed many times since at my stupidity and how close I came to hurting myself severely.
