The other irony being that hunters these days wear orange to try and identify themselves as something that shouldn't be shot.

Lotta folks will fire into the ground because they think they can prove by location they weren't acting maliciously.

Just read a book where the Comanche's called us the "stick chasers". They would raid any stick chasers they saw because they knew that the white man was soon to follow.
When I used to live and work out of Altus, Arkansas there were 2 counties to the North - Northeast of me that I would not work in during the growing season for pot. It was not unusual to have a citizen of those counties show up with a gun to check you out while you were working. At one time that area was the No.2 pot producing area in the lower 48 and the No.1 for unsolved killing per capita in the U.S. The Franklin County Surveyor (grandfathered) was arrested and convicted of growing pot on the National Forest, the Board took his Surveying Licenses
Not long ago people went to prison for growing a small garden.
I would not want to be working here... have heard rumor there is a 50 man "army" with automatic weapons that patrols the 5000 acres of organized illegal pot farms.
The few surveyors that I have talked to that have worked for this group, say they pay with cash and seem to be nice enough.
