thing that you didnt mention which would have been number one for me, is you mentuioned he was 40 yards from you. say he stopped a few feet back and fired right at youw ithout even knowing. if he struck you know one would have found you for days probably. wouldnt think twice about turning him in. off that topic, is it legal for you to hunt 15 yards from a public road? 150 yards here in maryland.
