Seriously, who scopes people?
Quik, I know what that feels like,and itabsolutely infuriates me. I had a 16 year old kid"sight"me in WV about 5 years ago. He walked up on me, and stopped about 50 yards away, raised the gun, (an open sighted 30-30)and pointed it right at me. I was standing there, munching on a samich, and it scared the hel out of me to see him do that.I was literally petrified. I heard him mutter "bang" in a soft voice, then he walked to me to start up a conversation. When he got within arms reach of me to chat, I snatched his gun from him, ejected all the shells into the mud,and sent it fora 30 yard,end over end ridethrough the woods. I recognized him as the landowner's nephew, and we exchanged a few hostile words and he left after picking up his gun and shells. A day or 2 later, I saw the landowner at a local convienience store, and he apologized for his nephews actions. Turns out the boy had a bad habit of doing that, and he wasen't allowed to hunt the property anymore.
OMG.... Out of all the bad scenarios, horror stories, run-ins, etc... this one takes the cake!!!
Wait, this deserves thejaw drop smilie....
I have never heard of someone EVER doing something as stupid as pointing a firearm at another hunter! ....saying "bang" while they have you in their sights!!!! OMG... I would have gone ballistic... That kid wouldn't have a 30-30 anymore. I would have knocked him upside the head with it, then bash it to pieces against a rock! [:@]
I always look forward to bowhunting in the peace and quiet. Rifle season is great when you can escape the crowds (and the stupid deer dogs!) by hunting mid-week. Weekends? I won't even bother with the public land WMA's. It's too packed on a Saturday and is like a sea of blaze orange!
Here's what I use during the full hunting season.
