I really don't
understand this thread at all . Isn't it just common sense to stay
out
of a heavily
hunted area during rifle season anyway ? And then to put bells on your
horse and then
ride into an area where hunters are trying to hunt , isn't that asking
for trouble ?
We used to outfitt for a living , packing hunters into an area with
horses,
and then leaving them there to hunt for a week or more at a time , not just
one
bunch at a time but many in different areas . My husband and I both led
packstrings
all through hunting season visiting with hunters along the trail as we were
coming or
going , never even had someone come close to shooting at me or close by .We
wore
orange of course but nothing on the horses ever . Now that we are out of
the hunting
part of the outfitting I stay out of hunting areas during rifle season .
Common sense .
Most hunters have alot of time and money tied up in their hunting vacation
, they
look forward to their hunting as we do our endurance season , why try
to antagonise someone carrying a gun ?
