Please be carful it is hunting season

[3DKarting.com]

Here in Western North Carolina (WNC) it is currently muzzle loader season for this week here but many parts of the country have either started hunting seasons or will soon be starting, particularly dear season. I always make sure of what I'm aiming at but not all hunters are careful. No matter what your opinion of hunting, the fact is if your moving around in the woods and you get shot whether is was wrong, accident or whatever your still shot, probably dead. Do yourself a favor and wear something blaze or hunter orange.

 

Also in WNC mountains wildlife gamelands (government hunting lands) are marked with yellow or orange gates that they open in the fall easy way to know where your at.

 

maybe some others could post on here how other states mark gamelands, I'm curious how SC and TN are marked because while I wont be hunting dear in those states I do plan on hunting some caches.

Couldn't agree more. Fortunately many reserves around here post warnings. Therefore, wear the Blaze.

Hear in Georgia their careful about knot shooting dear that ware orenge vests so your safe if your wareing one wile cashing.

 

Just don't wear your orange vest on top of your camouflage shirt or you'll confuse the deer that are caching.

Yes, it's definitely the time of year to wear bright colors while caching in the woods. Bow season started here on Tuesday (I think) so I'm just staying the heck out of the woods for a while.

I found a far more effective technique if I am caching with another person. We confuse the hunter by arguing whether its duck season or wabbit season. It works for Bugs Bunny.

All day is the best general answer. Most big game hunters start their hike to the areas they want to hunt before the sun rises. If you do see a hunter waiting for game, don't purposely cross their path, and interrupt their hunt. This is illegal in many states.

Is this a new season? Is this when we get to go out and hunt for someone whom we can call dear?.... hmm...sounds like something cupid would come up with

I have an Orange Hunters Cap that I wear while Geocaching...even here in the Dallas area.

 

It protects my Bald Spot from getting sun burned or scratched by tree branches.
