• First and foremost, you should always assume that every gun that you come in contact with is loaded.
• Second, you are always going to want to control the muzzle. The way that you can achieve this is by pointing your gun in a direction that is safe.
• Now, you are going to want to keep your finger completely away from the trigger until the point where you are ready to actually fire the gun.
• You are always going to want to be sure of your intended target and everything that is around your target.
• Wearing hunter orange makes you a lot safer than wearing any other color. You will not stand out to the deer that you are hunting as they cannot perceive the color the way that we do. However, the bright orange color can be spotted from far away and you will never be mistaken for a target.

Deer are lacking the red-sensitive cone cells that are required in their eyes for them to determine the differences between red and orange and green and brown. Having this type of blindness mean that deer will not be able to pick you out in the trees, but other hunters certainly will be able to. Using fluorescent types of colors like hunter orange is going to look brighter to a human with a gun, while deer will have difficulty seeing the colors and will mistake you for the foliage in the woods. This means that you are safe when you wear hunter orange, and yet it will have no negative impact on your ability to go hunting successfully.

Simply put, wearing the hunter orange color is capable of saving lives. Fluorescent orange varieties of safety clothing are quite effectiveness. Big game hunters that wear hunter orange can go hunting without having to worry about being mistakenly shot by a hunter that is also out in the woods enjoying the deer season. So if you are serious about going hunting and you want to be safe and protected without hampering your ability to sneak up on a good target, wearing hunter orange is a great way to go.

In the past, wearing camouflage colors was the way to enjoy a good day of hunting because the deer could not see you in the brush. Unfortunately, hunters cannot see you either, and they will sooner perceive you to be a deer or other animal than a person when you are running around in the colors of the trees. This is why wearing hunter orange is so vitally important – It may even save your life someday.

Wear wool.

Wool hunting clothing provides excellent insulation against the cold. You won’t want to wear it against your skin, of course, but make one of your layers wool. And you should have at least 2 or 3 layers of clothing on, including long underwear. You won’t want to trek out into the woods wearing the clothing of 4 men, and getting your innermost layer wet with sweat—that defeats the purpose of trying to stay warm. But do take the heaviest layers of your hunting clothes with you. Then once you’re in the deer stand, you can put them on and stay warm. (Make sure your outermost layer is orange and reflective or whatever type of hunting clothing is required in your area.)

Cover your head.

Most of our body heat leaves us though the soles of our feet and the tops of our heads. Just wear a regular cap while you’re exerting yourself getting there and getting set up, then wear a thermal cap. If it’s really cold, you might want a thermal face mask to protect your nose and keep your skin from getting chapped. Be sure your ears are covered, and make sure you’ve got a decent seal around the neck opening of your hunting clothes (as well as at the wrists and ankles) to keep the cold air out as much as possible.

If it’s a wise choice in your particular area, get waterproof hunting gear like waterproof gloves and outerwear. And don’t scrimp on hunting boots. You might want to carry these, too, until you get in place rather than risk getting the insides wet where they will keep your feet cold, and you miserable. Rubber soled and rubber-outer-wear boots do an excellent job of keeping your feet dry. Be sure they’re insulated or the cold will seep right through your hunting boots and drive you to leave before you’ve spotted that trophy deer. Invest in the small heat producing packs that can go in mittens and boots as needed. These can make all the difference between an enjoyable day of winter-time hunting, and coming home stiff and frozen and wondering why you went hunting in the first place.

Finally, be sure your family or friends know where you’ll be, and carry a cell phone or other means of communication. While this is a good rule to follow all the time, it’s especially important when hunting in the winter.
