Wildlife Commission Urges Duck Hunters to Use Water Safety Equipment

Hunting season is in for most waterfowl, and the Wildlife Commission is urging duck hunters to wear proper water safety equipment. Hypothermia is one of the top causes of death nationally for waterfowl hunters, along with drowning.

Make sure someone knows where you’re hunting, wear a PFD, and always obey all hunting laws.

 

It’s also less than a week until the end of deer and bear seasons. Big game hunters are reminded to always wear safety orange cap or jacket. Entering land without permission for any reasons, even to recover dogs, is also against the law.
