Archery Antelope hunting in Arizona Unit 10 last Thursday, and 2 hunters heard gun shots while glassing at dawn. The hunters changed their focus to the area where they heard the guns shots. In short order they saw someone hiking along with a rifle, about a mile away. They could not determine what the hiker had been shooting at. When they looked back at the hiker, they noticed he was no longer carrying a gun, apparently he ditched it as he was coming up to a dirt road.
The hunters concluded they had reason to be suspicious, so they called the sheriff and Game & Fish. They then made efforts to get to their vehicle. The plan was to locate the hidden gun, then locate the hiker's vehicle or camp. They were successful in both respects.
By they time the authorities arrived they had obtain sufficient information for effective interrogation to commence. Faced with witnesses, and the recovered gun, the hiker confessed to poaching a doe antelope that morning. Score one for the good guys.
