We pilgrims must understand and accept that, when we walk the
Camino de Santiago during approved hunting periods, we must share the territory. The hunters are there by right.
Most all of them understand the responsibility that carrying a loaded weapon entails. During this relatively brief time of the year, during October and November usually, the numbers of pilgrims are way down and the threat is minimized.
The hunters KNOW where the Camino trail or senda is. They KNOW where you SHOULD be if you are there. They would not knowingly point a loaded weapon in that direction unless they could verify it was safe to do so.
That said, we have a responsibility to be seen and heard. For example, in many forum threads we advocate wearing very bright safety colors to create a stark contrast against the natural background as a protection against oncoming drivers when road walking. However, this same safety measure offers a level of protection when walking the Camino trails, off-road.
Hunters generally wear international orange vests or hats to stand out against the terrain. For our purposes the neon lime-yellow safety would work as well. All pilgrims would do well to adopt something like a florescent ball cap, sun hat, or other overly bright outer clothing, especially during this season. It also adds a measure of safety when road walking.
Personally, my Marmot rain & wind shell parka (with pit zips) is very bright orange. I wear the same cap as in my avatar - look to the left... You are not aware you are wearing these bright clothing items, but they CAN save your life...
The other thing you MIGHT do when walking in a forested area during suspected hunting season is to toot your safety whistle periodically to signal others that you are there.
You don't have a safety whistle? Refer to Camino Safety Basics 101... Cell phones cannot always be relied on to summon help. An S-O-S, sounded on a whistle will bring attention. Attention brings help. That's three short toots, followed by three longish toots, followed by three short, and continue....stopping for air...
To just signal any hunter in the area that you are there, I am suggesting one or two toots every 15 minutes or so. If you see folks who appear to be hunters in the distance, give them two short blasts.
Once any hunters who might be in the area know you are there, your safety margin goes way up.
Be seen, be heard, be safe...
Hope this helps.
