Hunting Season Be Careful

[OxShoeDrew]

I am not a hunter but I think bow season has started, trapping and gun season must be near. Then bazooka week, land mine week, throwing shoes at them day. Please wear bright colors when in the woods, no matter if its private property or public.
Last week I was on my neighbor's land when i came across a hunter's camp tent. The owner knew nothing about it.
Right now I think its squirrel squashing season. I bagged my limit already using my Honda civic.

Anyone had a spooked deer burst by then from being chased by a dog or being hunted during deer season? I'd have to hunt without headphones during hunting season if detecting in the woods or the edge of a pasture, etc. Of course the worst nightmare is the guy with the gun peeking at a movement betweent he twigs, and IT IS YOU! A scared deer will be very unpredictable in direction, plus the fact someone could be drawing a bead on it. martin

Do I Detect a Anti in the crowd? :thumbsdown:
