La Grande OR

"I was working in the woods during a rifle elk season. Two guys came by on ATVs and passed barely 10 yards from me. I had just came out of a stand of trees and was out in the wide open with an orange vest and white hardhat. I waved but neither of them saw me. I later saw them in camp and stopped to say hello. They went on a rant about how there were no elk in the area, and blamed it on cougars. The truth is, I saw several groups of elk that day about a half mile off the road. These guys could not see a full grown man wearing orange in the wide open, so how could they possibly see an elk? I laughed, but it really is a sad testament to the kinds of "hunters" that are in the woods these days."
