Never rely on your gun's safety. Treat all weapons as if they're loaded and ready to fire. |
|
Never cross a fence, climb a tree or stand or jump in a ditch with a loaded gun. |
|
Never load or carry a loaded weapon until you are ready to use it. |
|
Watch your muzzle so the other individuals don't have to. |
|
Wear hunter orange so you can be seen. A blaze orange hat and at least 400 square inches of hunter orange above the waist-line should be worn during all gun deer seasons. |
|
Never shoot unless you are absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it. |
|
Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting firearms. |
|
Always be sure your gun barrel and action are clear of obstructions. |
|
Tell someone where you're going and when you plan to return. |
|
Dress for the weather, take a compass and maps to prevent from getting lost and be alert for other sources of danger such as poisonous snakes. |
