Ospreyers, No, I do not want to hunt. Rather, I would like to know if anyone can give me or direct me to information regarding when people are allowed to hunt in this area. There are a few spots I like to go birding which are also wildlife management areas and attract hunters (Hughes Hollow, for example). Call it a quirk, but I like to avoid places where lots of people are firing guns. It takes away from the "ambiance" of the great outdoors. If anyone could inform me about what time of day, what days of the week, and what times of the year hunters hunt whatever it is they hunt, I would be most appreciative.
