We had an encounter with those c*nts of the forest folk a while back. Looking deliberately to get into an argument with hunters with firearms.
We saw them approach. Walked away and secured firearms in vehicle to which they showed great annoyance.
These sorts of people and possible confrontation are what put me off getting a R license to hunt state forest. I hope their happy with government baiting programs and all the collateral wildlife deaths
To be honest I almost never see anyone else in state forests in NSW. Sometimes on weekends in the bigger ones with more recreational uses but in the logging ones you're usually the only person for miles.
I think making sure you have your phone on you to record any interaction isn't a bad idea.
And to a degree - this is what caught me out...complaceny - I hardly ever see anyone at all, so wrongly thought I was alone...
