USO does the same thing in unit 16, claims all the fire towers as their own for spotting. Nearly shot one of their planes when they were not only spotting with them they were hazing Elk out of the Canyons with them the second day of the season. The look on the pilots face was priceless when he caught the reflection off the rifle scope. Not saying this was in anyway the right thing to do (it wasn't), it was just an unthoughtful reflex when it happened.

Congratulations for the fine hunt and keeping your cool in a situation where to not do so would have set the wrong example and made for a far worse experience.
