Here in Eastern Wa two game wardens were setting up a stuffed deer to arreast spotlighters. They had to dive for cover as the stuffed deer sstarted taking hits before the set up was complete.
We farmed on a mountain ridge above Orofino, Id back in the 50s. One night we saw a car coming down the narrow road running a spot light. Neighbor had already lost a cow to a spotligher. We waited until they passed out drive then when up and waited for them to come back, road deadended a mile past us. When they came back they were faced with Dad and us two teenagers holding rifles. "Freindly discussion" dthat involved taking names and an amicalbe agreement was reached that "No Sir! You will NEVER see us back here again".
