[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2891359, member: 115658"] I was shooting rodents on public land. Friends were enroute to join me. A cell phone call told me that they were going to be late but get started. I told them I would be within sight of the gravel road at our usual spot. I started walking up a 2 track towards a real good spot overlooking a field having 100's of gophers of the pop can size. Shooting started, a steady pace, about 1 shot per 2 minutes, keep barrel from getting real hot. Then I heard a vehicle of some type approaching, it was a bright red Land Rover. It was kicking up dust. I grabbed rifle, ammo, & tripod and stepped back about 10 feet from 2 track. I had my 1911 inside my vest. The Land Rover came to an abrupt stop. An overweight middle-aged woman was driving, a small elderly man sat in the passenger seat. The woman climbed out of the Land Rover making the vehicle lurch up an inch or two. The woman was enraged - bright red face, spittle coming out of mouth. She said - "people like you are destroying what is beautiful nature & quiet solitude". I smiled, and responded that I read [I]Walden, Life in the Woods[/I], by Thoreau in grade 6, but this is not a good fit. She became more angered, and her face went pale. I asked her if she wanted a nice cold bottle of Arrowhead water. The elderly man got out and accepted the water & guided the woman into the passenger side. I helped the old guy make a U turn. I smiled,, he smiled and waved good bye. [/QUOTE]
