The state is Nevada. I was talking to my girlfriend's daughter, she works at Cabelas. Two of her coworkers went bird hunting north of Reno. A deputy called them over and another hunter also appeared.
This other hunter had called the deputy to complain that the two guys were hunting "his" birds. The thing was it was BLM land, in other words, public land. The sheriff told the complainant he had no legal right to claim anything there. He also told him that he should find somewhere else to hunt.
I have a theory on who actually called in my situation.
There is a dirt road that cuts right through the middle of that land. As I was hunting I saw an SUV entering that road. I saw drive a hundred feet down the road and stop. He then let two large dogs out of his car. He spotted me and put the dogs back in his car and then he did u-turn and headed back to the highway.
I wonder if he used that land to run his dogs. He spotted me hunting and I ruined his plans. He called the sheriff to have me run off.
