I should have stayed home myself--I took H out on a public, well-marked trail (both of us wearing blaze orange, just in case) only to spy a hunter tucked in a the base of a tree, covering the path with his rifle.
That was a heart-stopping moment, to be sure! Like seeing a rattlesnake at your feet and knowing you have to get you and your dog out it without anyone getting hurt. I called H and hustled him along the trail until we were back to the car--but that's it. No more going in the woods for me until deer season is over. :-(
