- As to the hunter's responsibility in the shooting, a hunting
- license does not give the hunter the right to shoot blindly
- at anything that moves. His license is a priviledge granted
- with the understanding that he will act responsibly while
- hunting and (as a local hunting group says here) LOOK BEFORE
- YOU SHOOT!
- While I don't promote running in an area that is being
- hunted, runners have every right to be in the woods (just as
- much as the hunters). I myself have had a couple of run-ins with
- hunters telling me where I shouldn't run. I had run through the
- same trails all summer and suddenly these guys show up in the fall
- for a couple of weeks/year and tell me to go run somewhere else!
- The only time these guys had been to these woods was with their
- guns in hopes of killing something (anything?). Because I don't
- trust my life to idiots like them, I ran elsewhere.
- I guess it comes down to: you have every right to be there,
- but do you really WANT to be there?
-
-
- Be careful out there!
