This is a true story. I have never hunted WMA's very much, but back in the maybe 1980's I went camping with some friends at Chickasawhatchee on a deer hunt. I think it was that saturday night, and we were standing by the check in station when we started hearing sirens coming our way on the highway I think from the Albany direction. Dang if an ambulance didnt pull in right at the check station, and immediately word started flowing through the crowd that somebody was shot! Was not true, a hunter had a heart attack sadly - He had earlier pulled a deer ot of the woods, he did have family with him I think. Just showed how rumors can spread through folks like a wild fire. Crazy thing is we were standing next to the vehicle and he was in the seat which was a little unsettling, I am pretty sure he had already passed away earlier. They couldnt figure out which Coroner to call, since the check station was on the line for like three different counties. Dont mean to put a dampner on a very good thread, but I guess he went like he would want to and I thought I would share a pretty interesting story...
