found a cpl tips about MTBing w/ hunters

avoid riding during dawn & dusk hours, prime hunting time
wear orange &/or bright colors
make a little noise w/ a bell or your voice
ride where hunting is not allowed
don't wear a white helmet, cuz it could look like the tail of a deer sprinting through the woods
carry a cell phone & make notes of your location via signage on the trail (I guess if you have to call 911 if you're shot?)
check for closures with local land managers. Some trails are closed to bikers at certain times to minimize conflicts with hunters
if you see a deer or a herd, make some noise to let potential hunters know that there’s a human in the area
stay on the trail
ride w a partner
if you do encounter folk out hunting as you ride, always be courteous and friendly. Tell them where you are intending to ride and ask where they’re headed; be prepared to change you plans if you need to.
