Hunting game birds
Hunting game birds can be fun as well as challenging. Before you go hunting, here are tips for safety:
• Every shotgun must be treated as though it is loaded all times and carefully handled.
• The safety should be kept on up until immediately before you take a shot.
• Keep your shooting finger away from the trigger, resting it behind the trigger guard.
• Be very sure of your target and when in doubt, do not shoot; be mindful of the position of blockers as well as walkers.
• Never attempt shooting at “low flying” birds.
• Be familiar with your gun’s range.
• Wear a neon orange cap or vest so that other hunters can see you from a far distance.
