Not all mountain biking is in state parks, silly. There are many legal trails where mountain bikers share land with hunters. I've ridden past drunken bear hunters in the NC mountains. Also have ridden past those who WERE hunting in state parks in the NC mountains.

Katy said she didn't want to get shot. My question is how much hunting is allowed in state owned parks?
