It is scary what some hunters do, I have had hunters that I was contacting ask me if I new how to unload their rifle without shooting the ammunition and many other wild tales. I have witnessed first hand a man with a goat that he thought was a deer, there were feral goats in the area and they were free for the taking but this fellow though he had a deer. An as far as the non hunting public, most of them have no idea when hunting season is and where hunters go. I encountered a fellow trail running during the first part of gun season who asked why there were so many people in the woods with guns. It has always been critical to be sure of your target and backstop before you shoot and it is even more so now because there are so many more people in the woods who may not be wearing hunter orange. I had a hunter walk by my stand this year wearing brownish gray coveralls that might as well have been a deer hide suit. You just never know, just remember blaze orange is your friend, the more the better, even that is no guarentee.
