However, it’s important to keep on your toes to ensure that you and your family are kept safe from the many potential dangers this season can bring. # Hunting While hunting can be a fun and rewarding sport, safety must be the top priority whenever firearms are involved. Unfortunately, about 123,000 hunting-related accidents are reported in the U.S. each year. Always keep barrels pointed in a safe direction and wear eye and ear protection when you or anyone around you is shooting. Also, never fire before being sure of your target and triple check to make sure your gun is unloaded before transporting or cleaning it.

Taking a few preventative steps before you embark on the trail head can guarantee your dream weekend doesn’t turn into a nightmare. Always contact the park ranger’s office to ask what terrain, animals, and weather to expect along the way. Let the ranger and someone else at home know where you plan to travel and when you expect to get back. Lastly, pack the essentials like a first aid kit, whistle, raincoat, matches, and extra water and food in case the unexpected occurs. ![](https://news.bartdurham.com/hubfs/Bart%20Durham%20Listicle%20(Oct.%20-%20Dec.%202019)-5.png) ## Motorcycle Road Trips One of the best ways to enjoy the season is to hop on your motorcycle and explore the open road. Before heading out, check your tire pressure, oil levels, and anything that might require maintenance. Plan a set amount of miles you’ll travel each day and don’t overdo it! You’re much more likely to stay safe when you’re alert and well-rested. Finally, check the forecast every few hours, either on your phone or on a portable weather radio, to avoid an unexpected storm or cold front. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” By following a few simple safety tips and using some common sense, you can make sure you and your loved ones avoid harm.
