Remember These Basic Safe Hunting Rules 1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded. 2. Control the gun’s muzzle at all times. 3. Guns not in use should be unloaded and stored with the action open. 4. Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions and that only the proper ammunition is carried. 5. Never point a gun at anything you don’t want to shoot. 6. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger, and always know what is beyond the target. 7. Never climb a fence or tree or cross an obstacle with a loaded gun, and never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. 8. Never shoot at water or a flat, hard surface. 9. Store guns and ammunition separately, out of reach of people unfamiliar with safe gun handling. 10. Wear hunter orange and eye protection. 11. NEVER handle a firearm or attempt to hunt while you are affected by alcohol or drugs. 15
