RE: Bobgobble's awesome Idea...Safety First thread!!
Always let someone know where you will be. Us old guys sure appreciate that.
And don't leave your ethics in the truck!
4Basic rules of Hunter Safety.
1. Muzzle control at all times - know where your muzzle is even if you start to fall down!
2. Know your target and beyond. (identify clearly your target and then look beyond - take no horizon shots!)
3. Treat every weapon AS IF IT IS loaded! (Wehn unloading check it twice and do look at the magazine carefully - pick up a gun you have not checked - treat it as if loaded.)
4. Never place your finger on the trigger till you are ready to shoot. (Never ever walk with your finger on the trigger and Constantly check your safety - Is it on?)
last of all make this your motto
SAFE HUNTING IS NO ACCIDENT!
Think about it - if you are always safe YOU will have NO Accident. Once you pull that trigger there is nothing - absoultely nothing you can do to stop the chain fo reaction!
