I was hunting on state gamelands here in Pa, about ten years back, and had two guys stalking me. scary situation. I'll never hunt turkey on public land again. Same here, Scary as anything. I was set up and these guys were playing run- n- gun. Thought they were gonna kill my dekes.

Some guys have all the luck. I put in for a hiker tag, there's some big ones in the unit I hunt. Some with beards of decent size, too.

The major difference between belief and fact is those who believe something have come to a conclusion no facts will contradict. Well informed people are open to new facts that oppose their beliefs. That also defines an open and closed mind.

EVERYBODY is pro-gun, some just don't know it. When an anti-gun person is in trouble, the first thing they do is call 911 and demand that they send somebody with a gun!

I just have to shake my head on these. How can one mistake a person for turkey, gray squirrel, or a bull elk. Any involved in such mistakes should lose their firearms rights for life.

Were they stalking you or a turkey call and maybe a deek?

No excuse for this incident, "always be sure of your target".
I'm kinda new to this, WTF is a "deek"?

This is why I hunt private land, don't want to be "mistaken" for game of any kind.

I had another hunter "scope" me several years ago while deer hunting in PA. As he walked up to me he told me he just wanted to see who I was. I was wearing an orange hat and coat.

Basic hunters safety failure, the shooter clearly didn't positively ID his target.

Hikers should also be aware and take proper precautions, such as wearing hunter orange.

I belive a "deek" is a decoy.
