I was hunting public land this morning and had parked where most would not see my truck (parking area across the street from the entrance). This land is pretty empty during the weekdays - not sure about the weekends, tho. Some guy parked on the street right near the entrance and, since he didn't see any other vehicles there, he thought he was alone. He happened to decide to stroll right past where I was set up (about 6/10 mile in) and as he was passing I said "Good Morning". This guy jumped about 5 feet, brought his hands to his face and screamed like a girl. It was really funny. I wasn't meaning to scare him - just wanted him to know I was there - but dang that was funny.

I had seen three deer in that field this a.m. - they just wouldn't come close enough to say hello. By the time that guy walked by, I was about to pack it in anyway.
