[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 867555, member: 2011"] I don't much care for it either. That's why I hunt in away from people areas, for the most part. When too many people around I ghillie up and remain pretty much stationary. Thus I see them before they are aware of me. I bino them regularly. An experience from years a go. Two of us were on a ridge in sage just above tree tops. Third fellow was down in the trees. 3 hunters w/horses were glassing the side hill below us from the next ridge over. It was a cow elk hunt. One of the more dangerous hunts as far as I'm concerned. The three horse hunters brought their weapons to bear and cut loose. I knew that the two of us were in their scope's field of view. I could hear the bullets snap and impact a few yards below us in the trees. I said to my buddy, "To hell with this!" The idea was to stop the shooting. Also this was long before my LRH days but I knew my rifle quite well. I figured that a little dust about 30 yards or so below them would get their attention. Especially when they couldn't help but see me pretty much aiming at them and firing. I asked my buddy to spot the hits for me telling him which rock I was targeting. First shot was good enough. Two more shots were in the same small area. Last I saw was three horseman dropping over the other side going away. Haven't had to do that since! If that happened today, I'd catch 'em on video, video them at camp and post social media and F&G. [/QUOTE]
