>I have a lot of friends from Texas, but I have to admit that having a near death experience due to one lone rich hunter in the rockies was enough! I used to live on a boyscout ranch - Camp Tahosa - outside of Ward, CO and every year Texans came up and roamed the mountains hunting (especially the illegal areas). They would shoot at anything that moved and when I was 15 I guess I looked too much like an Elk because one almost shot me. It was two or three years later Denver and Dallas made it to the SuperBowl. Grrrrrrrrr.... :o)

Oh, so you've been shot at in Colorado too! I was hunting the rolling hills above Gunnison in the Parlin Flats area when I heard a bullet whiz by my head and strike a tree. Funny how automatic dropping to the ground and incurring turret's syndrome are almost instantaneous.<g>
