Truth, I know exactly where you are coming from. I have made several posts regarding this matter. If it is a questionable part of town, I would recommend going with a small group if possible. The more eyes and ears, the better. One has to be like an owl these days doing a 360 at about all times unfortunately. There is a part of town that I used to hunt in the early 80's and we did pretty well, however this side of town has grown to be infested with violence and crime. Like Deepseeker ADS posted, a gentleman was hunting here solo about 3 years ago wearing headphones and bent down digging a signal with his back turned when he was rendered unconscious by some Thug's. Luckily, he wasn't killed, but when he awoke he found everything gone including his vehicle that was parked nearby. (So sorry this happened to you Deepseeker). I would love to one day go back to this area, but would be wise to go in with SWAT and heavily packing. It is a shame that times have gotten to be where they are now, but such are the times in which we are now living. I can't see things improving anytime soon until our Lawmakers if you'll excuse me here, (grow a set) and start punishing these Thug's and hoodlums instead of slapping them on their wrist and setting them free to commit crimes on society once again. In short, BE SAFE. Go in pairs and watch one another's back.
