I have a hard time approaching hunters. I had a bad experience when I was younger, a guy pointed his gun in the ground in my direction and just shot as I went to approach him. I just ran and that was the end of it. Was never so scared in my life. I've been hunting southern ohio when I've seen a guy carrying a assult rifle in public hunting( I was younger) I just hid behind a try hoping he didn't see me) Maybe I should just carry a little whistle with me since I can't whistle loud.
