:2guns:For those of you who have not ridden 6 mile through the fall before..
It is worth noting that Bow hunting does go on in this park.
Most of the guys are low key and harmless but like any group they might also have some bad apples.
Last fall i was told by a hunter that I wasn't allowed on the "hunting trails".. I found this pretty funny as he was standing on a trail I cut.
One night I ran into two guys who were very lost. I had my light going and i pretty much scared the life out of them. They said they were from Newark and that they wanted to know where the closest strip club was.
Anyway this is a rough time of year as user conflicts will be on the rise.
Be careful and keep your head on. It is pretty unlikely that someone would shoot at a moving biker with a bow and arrow but you never know.
