Yearly Hunting Safety PSA

[Simon]

Alright guys it is that time of year again.... Firearm Deer Season!!!

Players, that means that you should take extra measures to ensure nobody gets shot by informing neighbors if you're going to be out playing and wearing orange hats. Stupid hats are better than an accident. Better yet, wait a few days for the initial craziness to settle down before playing. I know the hunters will appreciate it.

Hunters, remember to check your targets as well as what is beyond them. Always wait until it is light enough to see well and stop when it gets harder to see, again be 100% sure of the target.

Good luck and happy hunting!

I'd like to add that I don't think it's a good idea to be playing airsoft during hunting season. Obviously this doesn't apply to actual paintball and airsoft fields. We have woods on our property and even though we haven't given permission for hunters to be out there I've seen them before.

Agreed with Todd. The woods across the street are privately owned, and I've still been hearing gunshots all morning. I know the guy who owns the land and there is no way that he's been putting off that many rounds. If there are woods and deer, there will be hunters. The only thing that somewhat concerns me is that the woods probably aren't even 1000ft away from my house, and I live in a subdivision. Kind of scary because there are A LOT of kids in my sub, and many of them like to explore the woods because they're so close. I know I used to do it when I was a kid, and the last thing that was on my mind when I was exploring is encountering a hunter. It's best just to steer clear of any wooded area where there's a possibility someone could be hunting.

Damn. I'm going to have to wait until after deer season to test my deer skin camo. Seriously guys, be safe, common sense saves lives,
