In MO deer season (rifle) is only 20 days or thereabouts. We don't go trail riding or hiking because of the danger of stray bullets, mistaken bullets, over anxious amateur hunters, etc. And this is in NOv. also so what is the big deal about keeping your kids inside for 2-3 weeks in pre-winter for safety sake?
Why should children, or anyone else for that matter have to stay indoors or otherwise restrict their activities so the hunters can do their thing?
They are the minority, and shrinking at that, while other outdoor activities are expanding.
I used to be a hunter but gave it up, and know plenty of others who did also.
