If You Go Hunting.

Dou't lean on your gun.
Don't ponit your gun toward your
dog.
Don't rest the muzzle of your gun
on your toes.
Don't kill game wantonly. Stop
when you have all you need.
Don't get ratified. Keep cool, nc
matter how big the game you are
after.
Don't shoot toward houses or fields
with long range guns when you are
anywhere near them.
Don't leave squirrel tails hanging
out of your game bags or pocket for
some other sportsman to take a shot
at.
Don't forget that gun is a danger
GUS instrument. yet har mless as a
piece of wood if you use judgment
and caution in it's handling.
Don't pull your gun after you
when you climb or crawl through a
barbed wife fence Push it through
first with the muzzle away from you.
If you fall in going down steep
hills or over rough ground don't drop
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1909-11-24

your gun. Hang on to it and keep
the muzzle pointed the other way.
Don't sheet even approximately
in the direction of any one in the
woods, as a glancing bullet may
strike quite bit to one side of the
oCject at which you aim.
Don't foret that the smaller a rife
or shotgun the more steady you must
hold it when you shoot. It takes q
mighty good shot to do long range
shooting with a small terget rifle.
Don't pull the trigger until you
are sure you know what you are shoot
ing at. Quite number of men are
in their graves now because in q
quick glance the nervous hunter took
them to be deer Or wild, turkey
among the bushes
If you are in the woods long time
and do let of shooting. don t fail
to give your gun one cleaning,
especially il target rife or pump
gun. It will shout truer. Besides d
foul gun is more liable to explode
than a clean one. -Ex.
