i know it is pretty hard to make out, but without trying too hard you can see a camouflaged out shady dude with a big gun. when i think back about seeing this guy it makes total sense that he was probably just out there hunting birds or something, but when i first saw him i just blurted, "there is a sniper out there." was it just because he was in camouflage? was it that he had a rifle that looked big and vicious? was it because of a post 9/11 terrorist threat fearing, media driven america? was it because of all of the sniper bs that went down back east a couple of years ago? was it a combination of all of those? none of those ideas really make much sense, but they would have if he had pointed the gun and shot something, anything. but he didn't. is it because i never hunted growing up? i don't really know, but i am just weirded out that i was so shocked by it. any thoughts?

jay, you look like a woman!
and, i want to point out that genius me did throw it out there rather quickly that he was probably hunting, something like doves. his shotgun, rather than rifle cued me in on this.
although, i did think it odd that he was so camo'd out, with no orange. i think he was hunting w/o permission on someone's land and wanted to avoid detection. btw, dove season ended yesterday.
its not the reaction, but the action that concerns me. well my reaction i guess.
hey, i wouldn't sweat it. you said it, i looked and thought you were right. dude was just chilling like a statue.
then i looked again and saw his shotgun and thought different.
at least you didn't blurt "THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!" to the cops. now that would be embarassing.
