Virginia Saltwater Angler's Guide, Improved!


Remember Safe Hunting is NO Accident!

Ultimately, every hunter is responsible for identifying their target and beyond before pulling the trigger. Most hunting fatalities are the result of careless gun handling, the hunter not making sure of his or her target, or shooting at sound or movement. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded and never point the muzzle at anyone- including yourself. Before you go afield, let someone know where you will be hunting and when you expect to return. Take a few basic emergency items with you - snacks, water, safety whistle, a fold up space blanket, a method to light a fire, extra batteries for radios or GPS and fully charge your cell phone

Most importantly wear blaze orange - it's the law for a good reason - it can save your life!
