My hunter safety instructor was one of the best. He wore his teachers proudly donned his red cape patch plaid wool until the last day, when he hunted. Me and my brother was a hunter safety learning life lessons. He was our father, and when he died in 2000, we know that it's hunting for us in every season.
The safety of a firearm is by far the largest concentration in all the Hunter Safety Training Program as it should be. Handling of a firearm while hunting, cleaning, loading, unloading, etc.Foundation is, but there's more.
It is 10 clock in the morning and the forest was quiet, as SE-up. Except for the occasional Blue Jay and a couple of squirrels, all is quiet. You cling to pack the arc on the hook, pour in your backpack and thermos from the last cup of coffee to ward off the chill of the morning. They hang the thermos on one of these cut branches that are intentionally a bit 'long, if you hang your tree. They wrapped a hand in his pocket and the other cupHeat. You are in the middle of a sip and you see it heading directly to your stand. Maybe not trophy size, but a decent shooter and your heart begins to beat. Do not think, in one fluid motion you start looking for a place to put the cup, while according to your attack arc. You can not drop or dump. He feels and, worse, he smelled it. Are at this time, heart rate, you really think of certain moves, where you have your feet where the wiring where the end of the arrowengraved with the head broad and strong? You can not, apparently at the moment, but you can not see where an accident will play for us?
Firearms, while safety is always number one, here are some tips to make your hunt safe and enjoyable, perhaps even more.
1. Hang fire orange flag stand directly under the tree at eye level, or when hunting from a ground blind, a mountain up. The camouflage pattern on the latest tends to land are so good, you reallyleathers. A flag to warn under the tree from other hunters of your presence. And then, blaze orange deer can see better than any other color. I mean parts of deer every year, and usually dress like a Christmas tree.
2. Use more than one rope to get your equipment up to your stand. I always at least my knapsack and gun and sometimes a bag of camera. I hang three strings, all with simple clip provided to the open end. It is not safe to be fumbling with knots indark. Once I was so busy trying to un-tie the knot that can not be safely removed my backpack. To my surprise and horror, was the 18 feet on the ground, bounced off my bow, as she went past! Never place with each course, or a weapon.
3. Before you connect to something each cable, to give them a few good tugs.
4. Secure you and your use, including the tree before you bring up one of your equipment.
5. Pre-install hook to hang around and then install even more. I use portable strap-on treeSteps to hang up my tools. I will hang a few feet above his head and get some at different heights around the arms, the back of the structure.
6. Cut a round gallon pitcher (like Clorox), about halfway from the bottom, so that the whole pot is open. Painting the dark gray outside. Cut a ¾ inch hole near the side, near the opening. Mount the plate on any such measures on the back of the structure. Next time, Mr. Big is a walk along the path, you must store somewhere thatCup of coffee.
7. Never see a deer. What better way to hurt themselves with sprains and strains, when the terrible task only in that the dead weight of the forest. For those who do not have a Four Wheeler, the purchase of two wheels of the cart. I have a folding model, which costs about $ 100. E 'by far one of the best hunting tools I have ever bought.
8. If you do not have a phone and / or can not be a signal to the neck of the woods, get some of the most recent, like the Motorola walkie-talkie2-way radio. If you are hunting with a partner to share one. If you choose to hunt only on that day, has a backpack and leave the rest on the dashboard, with a note on your approximate location.
These are just some of the experiences of my 35 years and more in this field. As technology changes and hunting equipment and improved, a whole series of new security problems apparent. Security-minded hunters always ensure that the evaluations of its environment and equipment this weekend, the hunt is not themodified for the season, that some stupid, avoidable accidents.
