You are correct it isn't only non resident hunters and it isn't all hunters it's just that too many people don't display manners or any common sense and make it not enjoyable for others to be out around them . I personally just don't feel safe out there when it is hunting season now , Sockeye66 , We all have our own ideas as to how safe we feel around others and our reasons as to why we feel that way . I ask a hunter to please not point his rifle at me his reply was it's not loaded . My reply was how do I or you know for sure that it isn't and there have been so many people killed by not loaded guns . I had never met this person or his son before . I don't think he was teaching his son to do the right things when handling firearms . I don't know how you are out there as I don't know you so then after seeing a few that I don't want to be around in the field I don't want to trust and be shot by someone that looks like they know what they are doing but then turns around and does something foolish . And since I do live in the U.S. as do you we can have and voice our opinions from our experiences . I do not like the fact that you were hit by a drunk driver and I know that not all drivers are driving impaired but I think you will be more observant of the other drivers around you because of what happened to you . I hope you have a speedy recovery and that all ended up turning out well for you and yours .
