For safe Bear, Moose, and White Tail Deer Hunting - Refer
to the "Ontario - Ministry of Natural Resources" current
hunting regulations.
Moose,
Black Bear, and White Tail Deer season means that most hunters are
getting their gear and hunting equipment ready. Group hunting is popular,
but some hunters still prefer to go solo. Always tell someone where
you plan to hunt and how long you expect to be.
Wear "Hunter Orange" during the open season for deer and
moose, and for the fall black bear season. Protect against hypothermia
and frostbite. Dress for mainly cool, damp conditions, but with flexibility
and layering for weather fluctuations. Wear a PFD while on the water,
avoid unnecessary actions, and never stand up in a boat.
Essential items: first aid kit, compass, map of the region, and survival
kit.
Handle
firearms with care and treat every gun as if it were loaded and ready
to fire. Be absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it.
Follow these tips, understand the rules, and apply common sense and
you will help ensure a safe and enjoyable fall hunting season for
everyone.
