When out hunting, always he certain
you know what you are shooting at
by so doing you'll never shoot q thing
you don't want to shoot. Don't stand
resting your arm or hand or body
against the muzzle of your gun. Don't
pull your gun with the muzzle toward
you. Don't walk carelessly with the
muzzle of your gun pointing front, I'M
less you have the muzzle elevated ol
depressed so that no harm can come il
the gun is discharged. When on the
alert to shoot game that runs or takes
to the wing the gun of course is muzzIe
front, but the sportsman then is on the
alert and it is not then that accidents
happen unless the sportsman shoots al
an object he does not know what it is
BY carrying gun stock forward, draw
ing gun stock forward, and keeping
from resting hands or arms on the
muzZle, one is almost beyond the reaci
of accident from gun shots.

then got his gun and threatened +

frightened off, and, even at the poin
