Besides, just make a lot of noise while caching and you'll scare both hunter and hunted away!
I'm not a hunter . . . and call me crazy . . . but I can't recall ever hearing of any bow hunter accidentally shooting themself, their hunting partner or other folks. I don't think bow hunters would be an issue for geocachers other than it scaring off potential prey.
