- 1. Carry a whistle during hunting season! At least you are safe in the knowledge
- that anyone who shoots you does so out of malice rather than incompetence,
- and they may find it more difficult to evade the consequences.
-
- 2. Carry a whistle even when it's not hunting season. I have been with 50 yards
- of guns inside the Rainier National Park (on the Chinook Creek trail between
- Cayuse Pass and Ohanapecosh) outside hunting season. These were obviously
- bozos, which didn't make me feel any better :-)
-
- 3. The case of the woman shot in her backyard in Maine or Vermont (the killer
- got off scot free) shows that each individual in the outdoors must bear the
- responsibility for distinguishing her or himself from something huntable.
- Too bad if that requires that we scare of all the game for miles around.
