Hunting
safety
With the gun deer
season upon us (November 20-28), here are a few safety suggestions
to consider:
Wear blaze
orange clothing from the waist up. It is instant communication that
can save your life.
Always know
where the other hunters are in your area. About 50 percent of hunting
accidents involve members of the same hunting party.
Pay close attention
to children playing outdoors. There have been incidents where hunters
from afar have mistaken children for moving deer. If possible, have
children wear a blaze orange hat while playing outside.
Always handle
firearms safely. Many hunting accidents result from accidental self-inflicted
wounds.
