So the warnings are going up in our local groups here in MA about hunting season and what to wear so you don't get shot at. Is this a problem that many of the rest of you face in the rest of the country?
huntin' season?
- Thread starter Barbaton
- Start date
There are a couple places around here where riding and hunting are both legal. I stay away.
Oh yeah. I like to take people I don't like riding and lend them my special helmet. "Hey cool helmet I like the antlers".
It's for real out here in Colorado. Elk/deer/bear/etc hunting starts pretty early in autumn. It's a good idea to wear orange in the Nat'l Forests.

We have some hunters that share a couple of our trail systems locally. Generally we try to make plenty of noise and dress in bright colors at our SMBA trails as there have been some bow hunters back there (illegally) lately. We don't ride Spier Falls as much this time of year because of the hunting season. As a hunter, I tend to stay away from the bike areas.
Hang a white hankey out of your back pocket when you ride. 
Don't actualy do this. Seriously.

Here in central and eastern NC, hunting land shared with biking land is kinda par for the course. Some of our trails are shared with Wildlife Resourse Commission land, which means that come late September, it's Sunday riding only. We get along surprisingly well.
Here in Ohio it is stressed to wear bright colors or ride road and make alotttta noise.

We actually got in a fight with one of the hunters, as we were blasting by he was yelling at us for riding...... and that was on one of the legal trails
Someone yelled somthing back, but we didnt stick around to find out what would happen
