I don't remember where hunting season started kicking in. We were in PA 
in late October and that must have been close. A former list 
member...kelly? Calli? Kyle?...something, sent us these odd little 
sheets of hunter orange stuff...it was like fuzz on one side and vinyl 
on the other. We draped them across our pax. The only time I ever was 
skeert by gunfire was somewhere down around Double Spring or Iron Mtn. 
Shelter...and, the gun shooters weren't huntin'...they were just 
shootin'...loud shotguns very close to me. I went to the ground in the 
mud it spooked me so much. I had my walkman on, probably listening to 
AT-L on Tape....when I heard the first blast about 40 feet from me. I 
stayed low and snuck away. They never knowed I was there. And, this has 
little to do with hunting...other than, I guess...you should be aware of 
more than just hunters.
