Essential Safety Tips for Hunting and Fishing Trips

To enhance safety during hunting and fishing trips, it is crucial to follow a set of guidelines. ABH emphasizes the following tips to promote a secure environment for all participants:

Always Transport Unloaded Firearms: Before handing over your firearm to the guide, ensure that it is unloaded. This practice applies not only during transportation to and from the field but also when traveling to the airport. By handling firearms responsibly, the risk of accidents can be significantly reduced.

Avoid Loaded Firearms While Walking: It is essential never to carry a loaded firearm while walking. Whether it’s a shotgun or a rifle, keeping the firearm unloaded until it’s time to shoot is a crucial safety measure. This precaution prevents accidental discharges and potential harm to oneself or others.

Be Aware of Others: While hunting or shooting, it’s vital to be aware of the locations of other shooters in your vicinity. ABH takes precautions to place shooters at safe distances from one another, but it’s essential to remain vigilant. This applies not only to fellow hunters but also to field assistants, guides, and farmers working in the area. Avoid taking low shots that may endanger others and strictly adhere to the 45° rule to maintain a safe environment.

Respect Prohibited Species: ABH offers hunting opportunities for specific species depending on the season and location.

 It is crucial to follow the guidelines provided and refrain from shooting any prohibited species.

This practice ensures the preservation of the natural ecosystem and contributes to the sustainability of the hunting and fishing experience.
