[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 2245285, member: 26820"] Definitely it's the ultimate responsibility of the person holding the weapon to know if it's an animal or a human and I agree with the level of punishment. No one is denying that. But his/her point is solid. The people who are walking through the woods should be smart and understand their surroundings to make choices that will help keep themselves alive. If one chooses to conduct outdoor recreation in CO, they should understand when hunting seasons are. It's a top hunting destination in the country, so chance are high they will encounter hunters when in the woods during hunting season. I've had a similar experience where people riding horses came close to me during an archery elk hunt. I pulled behind a tree until they passed and they never saw me. Horses and elk aren't terrifically different in size or color (potentially) and for a brief second I thought it was an elk walking up the trail. I could see how a hunter who isn't disciplined in confirming what they are shooting could have whipped their gun up and shot. [/QUOTE]
