On the surface, Mr. Rolke's editorial seems reasoned and well-balanced. However, hunters have no more or no less common sense than anyone else and accidents are bound to happen.
Council has a responsibility to all who enjoy activities in this finite valley. The safety of runners, bird-watchers, equestrians, hang-gliders etc has to be taken in to account when humans and deadly-force are in close proximity.
The protection of our children must be our primary concern: there are always those who are irresistibly drawn to the adventure presented by our wild spaces and on more than one occasion I have warned them off our property for their own safety.
We are fortunate to have community leaders who will listen to the concerns voiced by individual citizens. However, the greater good must always come first, that is the council's duty.
