Wisconsin DNR Issues Hunting Safety Reminders

As hunting season begins in Wisconsin and Alberta, authorities stress the importance of safety for hunters and non-hunters alike. In Wisconsin, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) mandates that hunters wear at least 50% blaze orange or pink clothing and encourages the public to do the same in hunting areas. In Texas, the tragic death of a young woman during hunting season highlights the necessity of adhering to firearm safety rules, such as keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and being aware of surroundings. Similarly, Alberta's RCMP emphasizes securing firearms, avoiding high-traffic areas, and carrying emergency supplies to ensure a safe outdoor experience. All regions urge hunters to familiarize themselves with local regulations, including licensing and hunting zones, to promote a safe and responsible hunting environment.
