Despite the fact that the U.S. Forest Service banned shooting there in 2014, Merrifield says gunshots are a constant at Mount Herman, which is near Monument and Palmer Lake. Once, near the drop into Limbaugh, he saw a man and his son shooting right next to a “no shooting” sign. He reminded them of the ban, but he says the father told him to “mind your own ****ing business.” Unarmed and alone, Merrifield simply moved on.
Other times, drivers have tried to run him off the road. And once, he “heard and felt [a] bullet go over my head.” It was, Merrifield says, in about the same area where the body of his friend was recently found.
Tim Watkins, 60, disappeared while riding his mountain bike in the Mount Herman area on Thursday, Sept. 14. Two days later, his shoe and bicycle were found, a day later his body was found. He had been shot.

Be careful out there. We literally do have targets on our backs.
