What do you think the "wild hunters" might do to you if you
don't wear a brightly colored hat? Since the only hunters
likely to be out on Skagit Flats are waterfowl hunters, the
chances of being hit by birdshot are much less that the
likelihood of being hit by a semi on the freeway.

I am always amazed, amused, and concerned with the fears of
nonhunters about being in the same locale as hunters. I assume
it has to do with the stereotype of hunters that is so common
in nonhunters. I wonder if there is something that I can do to
help change that stereotype, at least with the denizens of
Tweeters.
