My brother his 14 year old daughter, a mutual friend and myself were camping in Wyoming on public land that someone didn't like us being there. The first day they drove by us and went 50 yards down the trail and let off 4 rounds into the hillside. I jumped but didn't react as it was the day before the opener and I felt that they might be sighting in their rifle. Opening day we come back to camp to find a gut pile less than 30 yards from camp. The next day I find a gut pile circleing my wheeler on a public trailhead. Every day I could hear someone fire off 4 rounds as they went by our camp. We never moved and by the last day (day 6) the shooting stopped. Near the same area my brother spotted a 3pt and was determining the best approach for his daughter to sneak and take this animal when a guide and his clients were seen looking at them through their binocs looking at the spotting scope's direction and they saw the 3pt. and immediately went after him. My brother went after the guide and let him know in no uncertain terms about his ethics and lack there of. I told he should have asked for his guiding license number and report his actions to the Game and Fish. The clients didn't collect the buck and after the talk the buck ended up on the road in front of the guide and his clients 100 yds in front of them standing. The guide either didn't think it was big enough or he must remembered the part in my brothers speach about earning your buck not honing in on others hard work. In either case they let the buck go and my neice got her chance at him a little later in the day. She will be taking him home with a big smile on her face. The overall hunt left me with a bad taste in my mouth for hunting in that part of Wyoming. I may never hunt that state again and I have hunted there for over 20 years. Sorry to vent but what a scene for that 14 year old to leave Wyoming with. After the trip she said she would rather fish in Canada than hunt in Wyoming.
