Safety Tip No. 45

It's Hunting Season…be careful out there!

Hunters Remember -- There is No Closed Season on Safety!
Don't pull a Dick Cheney, follow good hunter safety practices...a few tips from miners.
Be sure of your target before you shoot! The biggest buck in the woods isn't worth someone's life. Have a safe and enjoyable season. - Dale Byram, Training Center

Hunt sober! - Guy Hensley, CMO
