Cindy, our horse council had a state park ranger as a guest speaker at our
last meeting and he said the same thing, almost word for word! He encouraged
us to report gun toters (see, I didn't use the word "hunter") who are where
they aren't supposed to be. The ranger pointed out to us that those people
are just as offensive to hunters who know the law and can quote it chapter
and verse as they are to those of us who don't hunt. Someone who points and
shots at a flash of white is an irresponsible law breaker. Sadly, there are
just enough of them out there that I give up a week and a half of riding so
as not to be their target.
