When it gets right down to it, it is really the sound of gun shots that
bothers me the most. I understand there are lot of hunters and they deserve
their time as well. But surely we can split the weekend days. Gun shots are
impossible to block out and it is upsetting to hear them for many of us, it
takes me out of the experience every time.

One thing the hunters don't respect is the need the rest of us have for a
QUIET day. The ping of guns going off ruins my time in the woods, even if I
weren't afraid of being shot.

I never wear orange--it scares the birds!
My previous message should have said "Saturdays" not "Sundays"

* there was a big foop when Sunday hunting was introduced in Ontario, some
time ago now, but I've never heard anything bad come of it in eastern
Ontario. I don't know about down near Toronto, where one might hypothesize
there'd be unskilled urban hunters who'd shoot at anything, though I suspect
that training courses have reduced the incidence of this.
One should wear something orange when one goes out during any hunting
season, and this would just mean putting on the orange hat or vest on Sunday
as well as the rest of the week.
Wildlife management folks understand Deer populations pretty well, and tend
to manage them for relatively big herds, so in areas without lots of Wolves
the hunters are naturalists' allies in trying to preserve the forests and
the plants the Deer would otherwise browse away.
