That's what I do, for that very reason.
For us it is BLM land with a dead coyote stuck up on a tree. My aim has always been off, though.
Here is a good hint. If you are confronted, hold your gun in your shooting hand and your cell phone in the other. My instructor is ex-DEA, and he told me, (because, I had to ask specifically what to do), is back into a corner, I guess, so you don’t have to watch your back.
Hope this helps.
