The Hunted
Written by Jason D. Barrett. Filed under: Random Thoughts October 21st, 2007Have you ever felt what it is like to be hunted? I remember reading The Most Dangerous Game while going through school and it made me think, but that is about it. Then I got in to playing paintball and it became much more tangible to feel what it is like to be hunted. What a rush! I can see why some people get hooked on the game. I can also tell you that I have a much deeper appreciation for the men and women in our Armed Forces.
My heart got to pounding. My mind was as quick as it has ever been. My vision was incredible. My hearing was at its best. I was closer to the ground than the grass itself. I noticed the tiniest bit of elevation changes. A tuft of grass all of a sudden becomes “cover”. A wall of twigs breaks up my silhouette and breaks up the incoming shells.
So have you ever been hunted?
