Hunting season

I wouldn't expect hunters to completely abide by the rules.

Why would you say such a thing? :roll:

My friends that hunt are pretty straight up..

If I wasn't working - I'd be out for turkey with them right now...

Because I used to work in City Hall, which issued hunting permits, and heard the stories.

Not saying that across the field it's a problem... but there were definitely complaints.

Is it limited to hunters?

Do you know if it's a problem in all of the NE or just your town?

Just came across as a negative generalization.

Do I really have to qualify everything so specifically? I thought people were intelligent enough to understand that as a general warning without it picking on every hunter specifically, especially since it was more a concern for safety than a calling out of hunters, about whom, I really could care less one way or the other.

Please be forewarned: In the City of Torrington in the State of Connecticut and nowhere else in the world, there have been, in the past, incidents of some but not all hunters who have hunted outside of official hours and off property where they were allowed.... or received permits to hunt on property other than designated hunting land. In the spirit of "it's better to be safe than sorry," please take this into consideration. This is not an attack on the hunters themselves--but rather, please be aware that there is a possibility of hunting during hunting season but ONLY in Torrington. That is all.

Better?

but what if someone outside of Torrington gets hurt in a freak hunting/biking accident. i think you are liable since you specifically stated the potential issue only exists in T-town. you might be sued over this, you'd better get a lawyer, quick.

No... you want conflict and chaos. You instigate it often.

There is a difference between making a statement that essentially comes down to better safe than sorry and defaming a business in the heat of passion. Really... I know you're a smart guy. I'm sure you can see the difference. You just used it as an opportunity to flame the fires again. Let's be honest here.

wear safety orange, just to be safe.

not that other bright colors won't work also, i'd hate to discriminate against bright yellow, neon green, florescent pink and others (the list is long and i intend no disrespect to the colors i didn't specifically mention).

Fluorescent pink would be nice.
