Hunters are hitting the woods in giant numbers these days. Deer hunting is popular. However, with more people carrying firearms in the woods & field, the potential for accidents increases. Each hunter should take the time to learn gun safety & put it to practice.
To start, treat every gun as if it is loaded. It is easy to forget to unload a gun before putting it away. Never objective a firearm at anything unless it is an intended target. Plenty of accidents have occurred with younger hunters that pointed a firearm at a friend & assumed it was not loaded. Keep the gun on safety until before time to shoot. Also, when faced with crossing a fence, climbing a stand or other activity that could result in a fall, always unload the firearm first. If a fall is inevitable, the hunter must make every effort to keep the gun pointed away from the body.
Thirdly, make sure the barrel of the firearm stays tidy & clear. Regularly tidy the gun & always unload it & check the barrel for mud or snow after a fall. A hunter should never look in to the barrel of a loaded gun. Firing a gun with debris in the barrel will ruin the gun & could injure the hunter.
Secondly, hunters have the responsibility to be cognizant of where a shot is fired. Never shoot toward houses, barns, livestock or other people. Be careful not to target game across a road. No matter how rural an area is, where there is a road, there will be cars. Always visualize a target fully before firing. Plenty of hunters have been injured or killed because a fellow hunter shot at moving bushes. The point is always visualize the intended target, know what it is & only take the shot if no other structures, animals or roads are in the path of the bullet.
Hunting should be an enjoyable experience. Always keep gun safety a priority so that every hunt will be a cool experience & not finish in disaster.

How You Can Get Prepared For Your Hunting Trip
During hunting season you have to be prepared for whatever weather conditions you will be up against.
Which means it could be muddy and cold and maybe even snow you will have to deal with, for those trying to get in to the high backcountry to do your hunting.
First You want a good pair of hiking boots something that is going to support your ankles and then your going to wanna choose whether or not you may want insulated or a lighter pair that breathes well I normally take 2 pair in case, sometimes that weather can modify on you before you know it.
Second You will want a few different jackets a heavy insulated rain resistant coat, a lighter coat for warmer temp., and a rain coat or parka. Now if you want hunters orange, I recommend getting a vest preferably two that will fit over your heavy jacket and try to get it made out of cotton or polyester, try to avoid the nylon style they are loud when they rub together.
Third You will wanna find a couple of style of pants, again you wanna think of weather conditions, your going to want a lighter set and heavier set, now look for the military style that has the extra pockets on the legs these are great for storage.
Fourth Its always a good idea to have a hat that will keep your ears warm and protect you from the rain and socks are another important item to think about if your feet are miserable your miserable so make sure a good wool style sock or if your allergic they've some good manmade styles to pick from.
Fifth Now that you have those great pants with extra storage you can keep a portable first-aid kit, a little survival kit with matches, a couple of protein bars, a compass, and two of those fold up solar blankets there great for protecting you against the wind and rain if you get lost have to stay out all night. Now make sure you put these items in something like those Glad Zipper bags to protect them from the rain.
Sixth The final item you wanna think about is a good knife I personally take a multi-tool, it's a blade and some extra tools that can be handy and I also carryover a folding lock-back style knife, its compact, it works great for cleaning and skinning whatever you might be hunting for.
