<p>Al - Many hikers just prefer to avoid parks with hunting altogether. Whether it's a bow/arrow or a gun, there is still someone potentially shooting around you. The probability of anything happening is very low – but it's still there.</p>
<p>For a small park like Cheesequake it might make more sense to just close it for a bit. It used to be a great non-hunting option for hikers all season long and there are few places like that.</p>

<p>They only allow hunting with bow and arrow. As long as the safety measures are followed it is a great tool to control the deer herd.</p>

<p>Daniela - yes, a sign was posted as you entered and there were a few along the trails. We went anyway - wore orange and left a little later in the morning figuring the hunters wouldn't be out at that time likely, esp. with more people there.</p>
<p>Having hunting in that park really perplexes me - with it being so small and right next to houses I can't figure why they don't just do one of those week long hunts where they close the whole park off.</p>
