Turkey Hunting Safety<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Never stalk a turkey.<\/strong>\u00a0It rarely works and increases the risk of an accident.<\/span><\/li>\n

Never wear red, white or blue or black<\/strong>\u00a0over- or under-clothing<\/strong>, because these are the prominent colors of displaying gobblers.<\/span><\/li>\n

Never call from a tree that is thinner than the width of your shoulders.<\/strong>\u00a0Small trees won’t hide slight movements of your hands or shoulders, which might look like a turkey to another hunter.<\/span><\/li>\n

Never jump or turn suddenly in response to a suspected turkey.<\/strong>\u00a0When turkey hunting, assume that every sound you hear is made by another hunter.<\/span><\/li>\n

Never call from a site where you can’t see at least 40 yards in all directions.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

Never imitate a gobbler call while concealed in a stand.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

Never presume that what you hear or what responds to your call is a turkey.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n

Never think that your camouflage makes you totally invisible.\u00a0<\/strong>To ID yourself to other hunters, wrap an orange band around a tree.<\/span><\/li>\n

Never hide so well that you can’t see what’s happening around you.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

Never move or wave to alert approaching hunters;\u00a0<\/strong>shout “stop” instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
Be Safe out There!<\/span><\/p>\n
