Dogbone, I had a similar experience - really upset me. I'm shooting ground-hogs in a field behind a post office for a farmer who was just being wiped out by the things, and an old guy walks down to check me out from an adjacent development. He goes back screaming at his wife - "He's just shooting ground-hogs". The next night, I'm set up in the same position - all angles safe, using my old 222 rem with little 3-9 Leupold on it, nothing fancy. So I finish up with another 2 or 3 killed and am already walked back to my car at the edge of the field and packing up when I look up, and there is a county sheriff deputy walking out of the fence row with an AR15. I call to him, asking "Officer, are you looking for me by chance?", and out pops 3 more - all with AR15's pointed at me yelling for me to drop my weapon and walk quickly toward them. They ask me if I have any other weapons on me (had a knife on my belt), they get my id, the one lady cop goes down and checks out my gun, then inspects my car (maybe to see if I was drinking or anything, not sure). But I played along, stayed cool, offered to get the farmer on speed dial for them, showed them the crop damage, the dead ground-hogs, and he handed me my license back and said "You're fine". Went on to say "What we have here is a situation where people from the city are moving into the country, and they don't understand how life is in the country - but... if they stick around long enough, they'll learn." :0) Stand your ground, no pun intended.
