Hey! This is Blaine Moore from RunToWin.com, and I just got in from a run where I may have
received a death threat.
I was out on some trails and I came upon a... a man in camouflage, sitting on an ATV off
to the side of the trees. So I waved, said good evening to him. And his response was,
"watch out for the deer." Now, you can take that one of three ways. Maybe he just was
worried that there might be some deer out there that might have wanted to trample me;
not the most outlandish idea, I have had a friend that was chased by a buck before. The
next way that he might have taken it, and if you are a cynic this is what your might
think, was that given that hunting season hasn't started, maybe he was warning me, hey!
If he had better luck poaching, then he might have had to have shot me. I don't think that's
what he meant, but it's possible. The third and most likely explanation is that he was
just warning me that hunting season is just around the corner, and eventhough I was running
after the sun went down, accidents can happen in the woods. So that can be either a more
threatening statement, or it could have just been a friendly warning; who knows?
But either way, it's a good thing to bear in mind; know what the local hunting laws
are in your area. And if necessary, you might want to avoid certain trails during hunting
season. So, just make yourself aware, and be safe out there. And if you take a look
at this link right here, if you go there, you can see what the laws are in your individual
state; there should be a link for each state, right there.
So once again, my name is Blaine Moore, and this is RunToWin.com.
