When hunting or guiding I have noticed 3 times in about the last 25 years a hunter look at me through his rifle scope.
Once in Arizona, Catalina Mountains.
Second time down inthe Black Range near the Aldo Leopold Wilderness of New Mexico. Deer season I was on horse back and could see the guy plainly about 300 yards below.. He turn and looked right at me and when I dismounted he looked some more. SOB. I went lookin for him and he disappeared down a canyon. Where he had been was marked by a Coors Silver bullet can stuck on a juniper branch that still had fresh beer in it. He would not answer my hello call to him.
I felt like I had a target on me so got out of the area.
When I told the G&F warden this story I asked him if I could shoot him for that, he said not unless I see smoke first
Third time in the San Mateos guiding a bow hunter, a boy with a scoped 22 on a 4wheeler stops and looks at me across a pond threough his scope. I got up and let him know I was , he ran off to his daddy like I did something wrong to him.
In the 2002 season a elk guide was killed by his hunter near Reserve, NM, when the hunter watched him through his scope and the elk he'd shot. When the guide got out across the canyon to the downed elk and moved the antler the hunter shot his guide through the head at about 400 yards.
