..."...I think the general public has no idea when
hunting seasons are.."
Then they should educate themselves , very simple
to do . You can go to your local Game & Fish and get the information or get
it over the internet.
" Seems anyone with out there with a gun,
should be held accountable for shooting only "what is in season!, not horses,
hikers or bikes."
I agree 150% with this statement Karen
"There were folks hauling out trash to shoot at.and
leaving it...signs were shot to heck....people were leaving beer cases and
bottles....and shooting down blind corners."
I think Cindy Collins pointed this out . These are
shooters NOT hunters . They may call themselves hunters but it is no different
then the Catoosa riders calling themseves endurance riders . Not something I
want to be associated with .
"I believe in multi-use trails. Why should
several groups (hikers, bikers, horses, etc) have to vacate an area to
accomodate hunters?"
Common sense , if you have shooters in your area why risk riding there ? We
live in a very isolated area , 40 miles from a town , still have a one room
school house in use , everyone knows everyone . It is a huge hunting
recreational area , I have never had a problem with hunters other than some
trespass problems , hunters flock in here from all over the
U.S. to hunt elk every year. Even though I have never had a problem or
heard of any does not mean that I am willing to ride in an area full of hunter
just because I can . I ride on the roads or in meadows where I am highly visible
during hunting season . It's not "them against us" they are our allies in
helping keep trails open .
