What are the odds?

[def90]

That a wildlife officer randomly walks right through the spot where you left a bedded muley buck that you had been stalking all morning and had intended to circle around and come in from another angle later in the afternoon in a 200k acre area that is closed to the general public?

"randomly"?? Maybe he saw the buck, and what's a wildlife officer doing on private land?

To calculate the odds: take the size of the buck (bigger buck = much higher odds), how remote (more remote = much higher odds) and number of people in the area (fewer people = much higher odds). If it was a big buck, odds are 74.24%, +-0.01%. You're welcome.

What a bummer! Hope you find that buck again.

Goverment facility, closed to the public but they have a hunting season. Next time I'll be making sure I bring my lunch with me. But come on! That was probably the only "hike" he did that day.

Ask him why.
Sometimes they are clueless.

Did you leave the area or just sitting there waiting for wind to shift?

Did you watch the buck to see where the officer pushed him to?

Maybe he was just surveiling to make sure no more BOAL's are stolen...
