In my area... yes. Several Fish & Game officers have been shot by hunters when they get caught poaching in the middle of nowhere. People get clubbed or shot at all the time when they are surprised by someone being there, and they go into "can't let this person tell anyone what we just did" mode.
Is it really worth the confrontation over a tower? Maybe if you could take 10 other guys with you, but otherwise it's not worth it. By the time you get there, the tower will already be over. 15 seconds with an 18v milwaukee sawzall and a sharp blade will cut through a tower leg like butter.
