[RC] Gun season riding. - L gin

Well, it depends on where. I did/do because gun season is sooooo long now they keep extedning it in the SE anyway , that you only have maybe June-Aug . with no hunting or is it only June now?-----
Some tips, Do not ride on big Holidays, !st weekend or so of Deer season or whatever is Big in your area. Don't ride near dawn or Dusk. Ride between 10:00 am and no later than 4pm. Wear orange everywhere you can, helmet cover, vest or jacket. . I made a vest and jacket out of fleece in orange and helmet cover. I also made "tubes" to slip over lmy breastcollar. I also made "ears" for my horse that attack to his bridle and a saddle pad cover . Bells or a radio help. Also wear a whistle. If you hear shooting and must return home that way. Whistle if they are shooting too close. -----ah-- teach your horse about whistles, don't blow it in his ears while riding the first time like I did , luckily it didn't faze him.----;0)
Ask hunters about areas that there are too many "crazy' hunters ---advoid popular overcrowded areas-----
Keep a cell phone or radio on you, a first aid kit too... Let someone know where you are going and when. Or ride with a buddy.
Sing as much as posssible intermittently......"This old Man...." works and "Ants go marching....
and "Walzting Matilda..." (now if I can ever remember more than the chorus.....)
