I know the area, used to camp a couple miles east coues hunting, 90s early 2000s. I had plenty of run'ins with crossers back then. Most hostile was coming off a mountain and a couple guys pop out in front of me, asking where my truck was, and not nicely. I didn't say a word, stared them in the eyes, walked right by them, they got the idea fast enough I'd shoot them if needed I suppose.
There has to be more to the story if the rancher or ranchetter... I don't know the guy or if he's an old time Az rancher or someone that bought some ranchette and calls himself one... anyway if the guy picks one crosser out of the thousands that cross his property a year to shoot, something happened.
