Ridecamp: [RC] hunting season

I live in Idaho. We were transplants from the Midwest about 30 years ago. My first introduction to hunting season in the West was when a 10 year old neighbor girl was shot through the pelvis with a 30-0-6 on her way to the school bus. The "hunter" thought her white scarf was a deer's tail. Then I got a job at a Fish and Game check station. There was so many trucks full of liquor you would have thought they were all going to a huge party in the woods. From then on I have not ventured out on my horse during hunting season. Too scary for me.
