FWIW, when I lived in Massachusetts, hunting season had a closure day of Sundays (so even during season, no hunting on Sunday). So that's when everyone went mountain biking. If we felt we HAD to go Saturday - or some other day - we'd wear blaze orange and hang Christmas jingle bells from our bikes. We figured, no deer, turkey, or whatever else they'd be shooting, would sound like Santa rounding the bend. We were less concerned about "communing with nature" on those rides and more about "don't sound natural and don't get shot."

I guess it worked. I never got shot except while on a road ride.
