Camping Altercations?
Just looking for short stories of any camping altercation you have ever had with other campers? Just thought it would be fun to read thru them.

We were boondocking in (what I thought was) a pretty remote area, far off the beaten path. Shortly after dusk we began hearing a few single gunshots, then increased to full automatic firing. I believe it was an
AK.
I was some distance away and not towards us, but still disturbing. After about twenty minutes or so it stopped and remained quiet the rest of the night.
Next morning we walked towards where the sound came from, finally finding the shell casings and shredded wood targets, a swiss cheese refrigerator door, and several shot up propane bottles. There was nothing there earlier when we drove by to our campsite.
There was no cell service, so we had to wait until we drove a few miles to call the local sheriff.
A couple hours later a single deputy came out and took our report, he picked up a few shell casings, took some pictues and drove off.
One of the propane bottles was intact except for a shot up valve. I took that one and traded it in at a local tank exchange. At least I got a free extra propane bottle out of the experience.
