Pennsylvania is the only state that I have lived in (that includes Texas and multiple southern states) where I was warned about hiking due to a danger from hunters both in and out of season.

Nowhere else that I have lived has anyone ever even thought- let alone verbalized- that hunters present a danger to humans in the woods, especially in non-hunting-authorized areas. Something to think about.

The signs at the state border should say "Welcome to Pennsylvania. Hope you're wearing orange!"

Yeah, I kept repeating myself back to people:

“I’m on a hiking trail.”

“I’m not on state hunting grounds.”

“It’s not hunting season.”

And location after location after location people have been like:

“Don’t take any small kids.”

“Go in a huge group!”

And I’m like: “Did you hear what I said above?”

And eventually it dawned on me that I was the one who didn’t get it.
