Latvian residents are told how to behave if they encounter a bear in the forest, but they are not told what to do if they encounter a hunter. What is the chance of meeting a bear in the forest? Very small. What is the chance of us meeting hunters? Very high. Why is it not mentioned that one can encounter hunters on nature trails? Upon meeting people, hunters issue warnings about the hunt. Some listen, others pay no heed and continue on their way. A third group starts asking why the hunters are there in the first place? They claim it is a trail intended for them, not for hunters. They ask why the hunters are even there!
