Hiker's Beware: Hunting Season Is Here
Dress to be seen. Wear bright colors so hunters will notice you. Neon orange is best. Think traffic cones and crossing guards. And wear something that is visible from all directions.
Don’t wear white. Hunters might mistake a flash of white through the trees for the tail of a deer.
Make your pets visible. If you bring a four-legged friend into the woods with you, make sure your companion doesn’t get mistaken for prey. Many pet stores sell bright collars and vests for dogs. Or put your pet into a bright-colored T-shirt.
Stick to the trails. Most hunters are familiar with the location of hiking trails and do their best to avoid them. So stay on the trails and don’t go wandering off into the woods.
Choose areas that hunters avoid. High country, for example, can give you great views, but the habitat may not support game. For tips on the best and safest hiking spots near you, ask at a local sporting goods store or contact the DEEP .
