Each year millions of Americans look forward to hunting
whether it be deer quail, wild turkey, squirrel rabbit or
some other animal bird Unfortunately hunting accidents
in ears have multiplied to an alarming degree
throughout the country in because the number
of hunters mas increased and in because they are

done many times Hunters often carry loaded guns when
crossing fences Many hunters prone to take Shot

There are many rules about hunting which we are
sure that the hunters much aware OF than the

is sound
But people are very human and need to be reminded
Of their ainps Carelessness is We hope all hunters

In that way will be many more seasons aheau LOT
