  Hunting Safety Tips
  Don't 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 hoist a loaded weapon into a stand. Never load or carry a loaded weapon until you are ready to use it. Always unload weapons before riding in any vehicle, including ATVs.
  
  Watch your muzzle so the other fellow doesn'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. It should be worn at all times, not taken off once in the stand.
  
  Keep guns and ammunition separately and in locked storage. Don't shoot unless absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it. Know the range of your weapon. Remember, even a .22 rimfire can travel over 2-1/2 miles. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting firearms.
  
  Always be sure your gun barrel and action are clear of obstructions, and only carry ammunition specifically intended for the weapon you're using. Always carry handguns with the hammer down on an empty chamber. Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during shooting. Tell someone where you're going and when you plan to return. If you move from one area to another advise someone.
  
  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. Carry a flashlight while walking through the hunting area before or after daylight.
