| | | Last year I visited an abandoned state school campus in the mountains of New York. The first time we visited we were very obvious, and we didn't want to approach the same way this time. Myself, my girlfriend, and another friend found a trail though the woods that eventually stopped at a cornfield. Fantastic, we thought. This shouldn't be so bad. Onward we pressed through the dense forest, following a fairly well defined deer trail. Before long we got to the field, where we pulled out our phones and discovered we needed to just cut around the field for about a quarter mile until we hit a branch that lead to the buildings. As we began walking, our friend begins explaining that this was a bait field. Its sole purpose was to draw deer into the area, which isn't entirely uncommon. But, being from suburbia, this was the first time I had actually seen one. We continued to walk, and every dozen or so steps, I would here this bizarre booming noise. At first I ignored it, but as we got closer and closer a piece of information entered my mind. My aunt had casually mentioned to me two weeks prior that if we wanted to go camping on her property, we needed to bring bright colored clothing. Hunting season was to start the following weekend. At the next pop, I stopped dead in my tracks. "Hey guys.... Does that.... Does that sound like a shotgun to you?" They both immediately dismissed the thought, and my friend mentioned that it could have just been the wind making weird noises due to the odd landscape surrounding the campus. It seemed like a rational explanation, so for a moment I calmed down. Then, another pop. Then another. By this point, it was unmistakable what the banging was; it was the signature percussive sound of a shotgun being discharged. Both of my companions were now also hearing exactly what I was hearing. "Guys, that's absolutely gunfire. Hunting season started this week. And we are skirting a bait field in dark clothing." I have to say, in the decade or so that I've been exploring, in dangerous buildings and neighborhoods all over my area, I had never felt more scared than I did in that moment. Quickly, we hurried on towards the leg of the trail that went to the campus. I was certainly shaken, as that had been the closest I've ever been to getting shot at. As a result, we walked right down the main driveway on the way out. Definitely not something I want to experience again.
