Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Hunting Season - Nancy Mitts
Lif,
Yes, there are months and months of seasons here, also. But it really only
the deer gun season that is a problem. (As long as they forget trying to
reintroduce elk, which haven't been native here for a long time!) Aside from
the issue of careless shooters that aren't hunters, there is speed of the
prey and carrying distance of the projectile. Even a very good hunter can
miss and their bullet can riccochete in unexpected directions.
Squirrels are mainly shot out of trees, rabbits & coyotes in the open, coons
at nights, Turkeys at dawn & evening. Spring Turkey is another dangerous
season, but in MO it closes at 1:00 or 2:00 pm, leaving time for a safe
afternoon ride. Deer archery & black powder are also long seasons, but they
just don't bring out the concentration of hunters, the hunters have to be
closer to their target, and mainly, they are mostly real hunters. The
potential for deadly conflict is low.

See, my problem with this all along has been that you might only have 11
days of deer season there, but here we have months and months of hunting
(not just deer, but even deer season is several months long), in fact the
major part of the year. Can this be the only area where hunting season is
so long? I can understand being willing to stay out of woods and forests
for 11 days, but not for the better part of the year.
