MOUNTAIN BIKERS, BEWARE
Autumn means hunting season, and the presence of hunters in
the woods means hikers and mountain bikers need to use extra
caution. Most hunting seasons in Massachusetts run between mid-October
and mid-December. While hunting accidents are rare (statistics
show that hunting is safer than many sports, including cycling),
cyclists can enhance their safety by wearing, a hunter's orange
vest. These are available in the sporting goods departments of
most department stores. Avoid white or brown clothing (you don't
want to look like a deer). Hunting is not allowed on Sundays in
Massachusetts. Key hunting season dates for the state:
- Pheasant, grouse, quail -- Oct. 15 - Nov. 26, 2005
- Deer (archery) -- Oct. 17 - Nov. 26, 2005
- Deer (shotgun) -- Nov. 28 - Dec. 10, 2005
- Deer (muzzleloader) -- Dec. 12-31, 2005
