Deer hunters reminded to follow four key safety rules
Several days remain in the November firearm season, and safety remains as important as ever. Keep yourself and your hunting party safe with these guidelines:
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded;
- Always point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction;
- Be sure of your target, what is in front of it, and what is beyond it; and
- Keep your finger outside of the trigger guard until you are ready to fire.
Following these four rules greatly reduces the risk of causing a hunting incident. Read on for additional tips about tree stand safety.
