When I've run into crossers they to have crouched down making no eye contact and I just moved on my way. What has changed are the armed coyotes guarding their pack and the armed gangs trying to rip off these people. I have seen armed non hunters from a safe distance. That is what I'm a little worried about. Especially when bow hunting and only packing a 357. Feel a little better when hunting with my 270. I have hunted 30a long and hard and haven't had a confrontation but the people I' actually run into haven't been visibly armed. Don't know what I'd do if I crossed paths with some that were. You have a great idea AZONECAM and I appreciate your offer. By the way what exactly is a bivy camp. It does seem it would be safer in numbers where the focus could strictly be put on the hunt
