     A couple years ago I was sitting up in my tree stand watching this
guy hunter who ran a cross a little fawn. They wer about 400 yards away
from me at the time. He emptied his rifle into the little dear and the
proceeded to empty his handgun too. Needless to say there wasn't much
left to worry about.

     Another thing that irks me is seeing other hunters who are so
oblivious to their surroundings and who is near them. And being only
concerned about themselves will park their butt's  right in the area
that others are wathing.
