Good god PJ, that is scary!!
You know, its things like that why I have almost quit deer hunting. Lots of folks never get a gun out of the closet until the week before rifle deer season opens and buy their ammo and beer in the same place on the way to deer camp. Too many close calls and idiots out for that.
I have a couple of places left where you cant see from any road, and its far enough out no ones gonna walk in and the gates are locked behind me. Thats about the only places I will hunt.
I have a friend that wears camo during gun season and when he gets to the stand, takes if off and hangs it on the tree so at least it wont move when he does. No thanks.
That area north of Elko is about as remote as anywhere in the nation, from what I can tell. I have a friend that coyote hunts there. If you shoot your buddy somewhere with that little population, you sure dont need to be in the woods.
