Everyone should just tag outdoorsman and raise it to 200% and then you'll pretty much never die.

120 is fine, and even then you can easly roll around wasteland with 20 outdoorsman and not die, its just annoyingly many encounters and slow speed.

My current bomber alt now 5th level with 28% outdoorsman has more chance to avoid encounters than 21st level main with 120% outdoorsman, and even have more XP, probably because of level, but may be because of low outdoorsman too.
No, 120% isn't fine, you shouldn't raise outdoorsman at all, or raise it to 200% and be taxi alt. Because I don't see any difference between:
have 28% outdoorsman and run away to exit grid each encounter on RT.
and
have 120% outdoorsman and run away to exit grid each encounter on RT.

Yep, maybe it will sound obvious but you should learn where certain encounters are try Fallout Encounter Finder http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=4463.0

Sometimes when I wander around I go around not to meet rogues/raiders as Im hunting with a BB gun

When I will play my main I'll make log and/or sceens of my "avoiding" encounters, and then bomber's.
You'll see something like that for main:
You encountered: Zzzz
You encountered: Zzzz
You encountered: Zzzz
You gained x XP.
You encountered: Zzzz
You encountered: Zzzz
You gained x XP.

And for 28% alt almost the same but only one line for getting XP.

Btw XP getting for avoiding depends on outdoorsman or character level? 120%+21st level gets 5 XP per avoid, 28%+5th - 87 XP.

So this is based on subjective experience... Hum

For exp, afaik the more you have Outdoorsman the less you get experience by avoiding encounters. It also depends on difficulty of encounters (The harder the more experience you get for avoiding them).

Wait a MIN...does this mean I wasted points raising this up to 100? WTF

No, you travel across map faster and you have more chance to avoid encounters. unless this is combat build, I suggest 150% outdoorsman for all characters.
