It's that time of year and the orange army is headed to the woods. Most of the Long Trail lands are open to hunting. Dates for individual seasons located here-

The big danger is obviously during deer rifle season 11/15-11/30 and muzzleloader is 12/6-12/14 but most hiking is wrapped up by then. However, moose season is 10/18-10/23 and then a second season in 10/25-11/2. Bear season 9/1-11/19.

Be careful especially close to the roads including the class 4, side trails and private camp areas. You can buy cheap construction safety orange vests at any hardware store, but I recommend putting on more than the vest. Cabelas sells safety orange pack covers and just about any outdoor stores sells the orange hats.

Good luck out there!
