Today is the opening day for big game rifle hunting in Delaware County. While we wish everyone the best of luck in their adventures, we absolutely pray for everyone’s safety!!

Please take a minute to review the cardinal rules of firearm safety below:

1. Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction

2. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded

3. Be sure of your target and what is beyond

4. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

In addition, NYS law requires that when hunting with a firearm or accompanying someone who is hunting with a firearm that you wear fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink clothing. Bright colors allow others to see you more easily and from longer distances.

As always, stay safe out there!
