The safety of trail users who are non-hunters during hunting season is a concern to many. With gun-toting hunters returning to the woods this fall, take precautions to stay out of their sites. The onus of safety in the woods is largely on the part of the hunter, but why take the risk.
1. Be aware of hunting seasons in your area and try to avoid them, especially at dawn or dusk.
2. Wear bright colours that can not be mistaken for wildlife. It is safest to wear bright orange, and items that make noise while riding. like my old bike.
Caution: red and green can appear brown at dawn or dusk and white can resemble a deer’s tail through the woods.
For information about hunting seasons and regulations, please consult the Hunting Regulations Summary on the ministry's website at ontario.ca/hunting.
