chris, my neighbor used to walk her dog while I was out hunting. It was my property, well behaved dog, any/every day walks, smart enough dog walker, smart enough hunter. We all can do it and differentiate between peoples, dogs on leashes, and wildlife no matter what day of the week it is. Do you really walk around in the woods in November? If you really do try going out there (if its public property) and meet the hunters. I bet they aren't the hill billies you think they are.
