Hunter Safety START DATE: IMMEDIATELY KILL DATE: N/A Contact: Terry Erwin, 512-389-8140 HUNTER SAFETY Fall hunting season has finally arrived. Before heading into the field -- make sure your gun is in top working order. Clean your firearm and test it to ensure it's working properly. All the springs and screws should be tight and in order. This will help you to avoid malfunctions in the field. When in the field, hunters must be aware of their surroundings, especially when it comes to who's around them when they pull the trigger. You can find more hunter safety information on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website.
