I always carry an Uzi when I run trails that way if I am fired upon, I can certainly defend myself. I got my experience playing Cowboys and Indians ages ago. It really helped me fight off warrior and hunters alike. Cheers.

Topic: hunter orangejeff <jb...@nc.rr.com> Nov 30 04:45PM -0800
Was out running on the Falls Lake Trail recently and after hearing
nearby gunfire I noted my attire and thought about my collection of
teeshirts back home and came to the conclusion that I did not own one
tee shirt that could be considered hunter or blaze or safety orange.
I do have a Uwarrie shirt that's more a burnt orange color. I also
have eyecatching dayglo yellow shirts from the 2009 Promise Land and
the 2008 Hat Run races, but other than those I've got nothing that
seems to say: just the thing for hunting season.
I do have a tobaggon that's bright orange, but I can't remember where
I put it after last winter.
Was curious as what precautionary measures other trailrunners might
take when hunting season arrives. Switch to roads? Run only on
Sunday? jeff

You might want to get something quickly. A fellow MM reported that during the North Central Trail in MD this weekend, he saw a deer while he was taking a bathroom break, saw puff of smoke and heard gunfire. Yelled at hunter and beat it out of there. Took away my desire to try that one.
Thank the Creator and don't forget to smile and laugh a lot.

Never heard of a trail runner being accidentally shot. Most hunters are
very careful just as most car drivers are, however, the occasional exception
exist for both. I do not hesitate to run trails at any time. I generally
wear a bright yellow or orange during all trail runs not for that but
rather in the event that I become lost or injured so I would be easy to find.
You will find a much greater chance of injury on roads being struck by a
car . As a paramedic, I have treated countless runners struck by cars in 20+
years and never treated a runner injured by a hunter. The NC Wildlife
Resource Commission posts an annual report of hunting related accidents and to
my knowledge, this has not shown up in previous years. Good point though
and something to consider. As trail runners, we know that safety should
always be a priority to prevent injury, being lost, falls, environmental
emergencies, and so forth.

Hmmmm...my doctor, who happens to live in my neighborhood, is always
trying to kill me. He has threatened (repeatedly) to run my over if
he sees me running in the neighborhood {something about obscenely low
cholestoral - or some such drivel), so I always wear camo and run at
night in the neighborhood.
On the other hand, I have to caution you against running trail in a
historically accurate Viking helmet - they are extremely
uncomfortable, do not wick moisture well, and....well....to untrained
hunters appear to be something they are not.
Don't ask......
