[GeoStL] Be verwy verwy quite - We are hunting wabbits!

-
I?ve been an avid hunter for about 25 years and a Geocacher for about 6 months, and now that hunting season is here, I started thinking that caching and hunting don?t mix very well. I?m not saying that cachers are the problem, rather, I know that there are some really dangerous weekend warriors armed with high-powered rifles in the woods this time of year. MDC is putting the push on getting rid of a lot of deer, which will draw even more hunters to the woods.

Probably everyone knows this, but wear bright colors in the woods, stay away from wearing brown or white. Announce your presence with a whistle, I occasionally do a lousy quail or cardinal imitation as I?m walking. Hunters appreciate this and will usually respond in kind to announce their location. Be extra careful during sunrise and sunset. Gun season is November 1&2, 15-25, December 13-21. Be aware of special hunts in certain areas. Here?s a link to those dates: http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/hunt/deer/deertuk/managed.htm
