Check it!He is right though.It makes me crazy and he is right. But, you can't aim back or shoot back. Taking cover, yelling, and getting information on the culprits are all important, in that order.

Just wondering, like I said I got ready and prepared for the worst but never actually aimed.

Not post on HUNTWAbut that's just me......................can I ask why? I think this is a good conversation to have. Accidents happen because people don't think even though they know better. Honestly the coversation needs to happen because it is NEVER ok to pint a gun at somebody with the exception of defending yourself. So sorry I am going to say something. This is unacceptable behavior and we should not stay quiet about.

This is unacceptable behavior and we should not stay quiet about. I'm used to having rifles pointed at me and I don't think being scoped is that big of deal. I certainly wouldn't flip out over it.

Unless you are dealing with a psychopath who's actually trying to shoot you, which is highly unlikely, you could turn what amounts to a stupid move on the part of the idiot with a rifle into a fully blown exchange of gunfire. That would be a ridiculous escalation of the situation, when protecting yourself first, making your presence and your dissatisfaction known, and collecting the necessary info to have the authorities contact him is what's needed to keep it from ever happening again.
