Keep focus on safety first during deer season
(Photo: Noppadol Paothong/Missouri Department of Conservation)The November firearms deer season is drawing near (Nov. 10-20), which means many people are focusing on the hunting opportunities in the near future.
Specifically, this means in the weeks ahead, much attention is going to be paid to scouting, travel plans and any other hunt preparation that’s yet to be done. This, of course, will be followed by the excitement of actually hunting.
In the midst of all this preparation and excitement, don’t forget about safety. Safety is always the most important aspect of deer season, but unfortunately, this is the point in the season when some hunters begin to forget that.
