The woods are alive with the sound of gunfire, it's hunting season.

Kewl. Another shaky out of focus video of someone riding their bike down the same roads that you can drive a car on.

Ya ride where you can... But ridding Down Range is probably not a good idea any time of the year...

lol but sometimes you don't know until you know ... I remember auto off-roading w/ Wifey until I reached a ledge w/ a deer skull. I thought Cool! then I saw a sign that said "down-range, stay away" or something like that I was like oh-dang! we turned around & left the area. on a MTB sometimes a whole forest is down range ...

What thread? A shakey video of a guy in a pink outfit riding through the woods?? Hardly informative or useful thread material.

When I lived in MA, it was illegal to hunt on Sunday. Don't know if that has been changed. However, during deer season, there was no way I would walk or ride through the woods on any legal hunting day. Lots of hunters, little legal land to hunt on, and too many guys that aren't all that concerned with actually seeing what they are aiming at.
If you're going to ride anyway, I would at least wear a bright orange outfit.

Pennsylvania changed so now there are 3 legal sunday hunting days. Just during deer season. Some times I'm a little concerned I live too close to the forest during deer season, I don't even like to road ride then. Hunting apparently is mostly drinking and driving into town for more beer.
