Wrong Place Wrong Time

Trying to navigate to Tisy without using anything outside of the normal game, map and gps, happen to stump onto a convoy and it has a dmr, no mag, but I've never had it before, incredible. Continuing trying to get to Tisy, continue to get lost lol, and i hear gunshots, I run over to the edge of this clearing and see someone out there who just shot some cows on the other side. I dont normally go for action like that, but I have a dmr now, I have to try it at least once before I die. No scope so I have to get close. He starts running away, still unaware, so i run behind so the shot is almost straight, about 140 m, iron sight, drop him, couldnt believe it, as i run up it only knocked him, we had an awkward exchange where I missed shotgun shots and he missed everything with bison and pistol and eventually I take him down with my pistol, hes fully geared. Turns out he had a base not far but that was locked tight, just left to stock up on food... and I was only there because I was lost... Wrong Place, Wrong Time.
