I support the Cape Elizabeth Conservation Commission’s concern about public safety and its recent decision to revisit its policy allowing dogs on trails. I think that use of our town’s trail system should be encouraged and its users protected. But when I am on the trails in our suburban town during hunting season, I feel infinitely more endangered as the mistaken target of a hunting arrow tipped with a razor-sharp steel point designed for bone splitting and deep tissue penetration (verbatim description from a manufacturer’s website) shot at a velocity approaching half the speed of sound by an overzealous, camouflaged, amateur hunter. Is it possible that this far more dangerous public safety concern could also be addressed?
