103. The woods are not for your exclusive use.

If I'm willing to subscribe to rules established by hunters, they will magnanimously allow me to share a public space to which I am equally entitled to enjoy as they are. Good to know.

As a non-hunter, you are not required to follow to the rules forced on the hunters, but it might be helpful for you. The hunters are happy to share the space with you since they know the space is not exclusively theirs.

So, listen, I've decided that I want to practice my self defense skills on public land by hurling hand grenades at anything that moves. But don't worry, if you carry an air raid siren sounding continuously with you when you enter the area, I promise I'll try to not lob a grenade at you. And, of course, if you don't like having to carry a siren around with you at all times, you can just stay away, it's entirely your choice; after all, I'm willing to share as long as you play by my rules.

You are a riot!

Plus, the sirens you want would scare away the birds you are searching for.
