I grew up in the 70s when people weren't as worried about their kids wandering off alone, and right opposite where I lived were fields and woods. Follow those far enough, and you got to the nearest town. (This is the UK, so the distances are somewhat shorter than they would likely be in a similar scenario in the US. Plus we don't have that many dangerous wild animals around...). So, it's how I grew up. I don't take risks, at least not to my mind - I know others who think the mere act of going for a walk by yourself somewhere that isn't densely populated is risky, it's just as much a part of who I am as reading is.
And derailing slightly, when you said drunk hunters, I thought for one moment you meant people who, for whatever reason, hunted drunks. Then I realised you meant hunters who were drunk...
