Hunting safely this spring and beyond: Tips
With all the excitement of a new season, make sure that enthusiasm doesn't get in the way of a safe hunt. Do you know the four key rules of firearm safety? Part of it is treating every firearm as if it is loaded, and always pointing the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction.
Also, be sure of your target — what's in front of it, and what's beyond it. Finally, keep your finger outside of the trigger guard until you're ready to fire. Read more for tips specifically for spring turkey hunters.
