A long hunting season

Filed under: General Living, Sports — Copa @ 7:33 pm

I was surprised yesterday when my neighbors were telling me that they were going hunting next weekend. I thought that hunting season ended Thanksiving weekend! Apparently down here there is a longer season than New England. Around here folks can hunt deer until sometime in March! I guess that is up until the does start to give birth. I can’t even begin to imagine shooting a pregnant doe! That just creeps me out!  I understand that the hunting season is long because the herds are too big, but I am also concerned about the safety of the general public – are we folks that live out in the countryside supposed to wear blaze orange year round?
