Now this brings me to another gripe......This is my land, this is your land.....but there's hunting going on and there may be an idiot with a rifle.....DON'T be that idiot out sight-seeing w/o some orange on.....and please try to refrain from the area that you know is infused with hunters.....all you're doing is spooking the game.

Reason I say this is cause of what happened to JB, CHIRO, and MHS.......and our group. People driving up a remote area that clearly weren't hunting......just driving around sight-seeing.
In 1991 I was out there on a mule deer hunt. Some idiot shot a horse out from under a guide. It was in the paper. I've never used a guide. We used blaze orange panyairds(sp) and tied orange surveyor's tape in the stock's manes and tails. One guy even wore orange chaps.

WE had a case here several years ago of a guy driving on I40 when a bullet came through his car door and hit him in the leg. The investigation concluded the bullet had first passed through a deer. Don't know if the shooter was aiming towards the freeway or not. But I've seen ricochets do some crazy things.
