It saddens me to think that I might be causing worry to other people when I'm in the woods wearing camo. It should be obvious by the long lens and tripod what I'm up to. A sad reflection on our society that people should be concerned.

So, all lone men in full camouflaged clothing, carrying a long lens and tripod are safe?
