We’re not the only ones in the woods
A woman going for a walk in a Canadian forest may have died from a hunting accident. While it hasn’t been confirmed, it does bring up an important reminder.
Public lands are filled with hunters each fall, but just because they are doesn’t mean other outdoor enthusiasts disappear. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean their not there, they may just be harder to see than all the hunters wearing orange. It falls to the hunters to make sure they have as safe of an experience as you hope to have.
I know, they should be aware of the dangers, but what they should know and what they do are two different things. When we go onto public land we have to realize others may be out enjoying what it has to offer, be it hiking, biking, or wildlife watching. Take a few extra seconds to make sure of what lies beyond your target. Saving a life is more important than a deer.
