Dear Editor,

The bike hike trail is a really good idea and is very appreciated by all who use it.

Our problem is ,which I am going to say a lot of hunters will agree, that when people are using the bike hike trail during hunting season — deer and bear — they should be required to wear orange.

Hunters during this time are using high powered rifles and are required to wear orange so they won’t get accidently shot.

Yes most hunters will identify their targets but not all abide by this rule.

When a biker or hiker wears all black, which there has been many during bear season, or earth tones during deer season they are only asking for trouble.

Maybe the trail should be closed during the three weeks of hunting season to keep everyone safe. So when you are using the trails during hunting season PLEASE wear bright colors.
