Starting today!

Shotgun season opens on Monday, and we've noted a pattern of preventable violations during shotgun deer season, and we don’t want anyone to lose a good hunt over some of these simple mistakes. Please take a moment to review and avoid these common issues:

* Respect posted property and municipal authorizations: written permission is best for posted/private land; hunt on town/city land only where the municipality has authorized it.

*Wear the legally required blaze orange: at least 500 square inches of blaze orange on your chest, back, and head during shotgun and primitive fi****ms seasons. It’s essential for visibility and safety.

*Observe legal discharge setbacks: no discharge within 150 feet of a road, and no hunting within 500 feet of an occupied dwelling.

*Do not hunt from aircraft, motor vehicles, or off‑highway vehicles (including snowmobiles). These methods are prohibited. Unless hunter has a certain disability allowance.

*Carry your valid hunting license and current deer or bear tags, in print, at all times. Do not carry duplicate tags or those of another person, duplicates are illegal and shall be seized if found as well as detached tags. A quick gear and paperwork check before you leave can keep you in compliance and help ensure a safe, successful hunt.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your pets. Please remember to keep your pets safe today.

There are many food items that can be dangerous to your pets especially turkey skin, fat and trimmings as these things can cause pancreatitis and a to to the ER.

Many pets tend to escape on Thanksgiving as it can be stressful having company or the door gets left open. Please pay attention and if your dog is stressed let them relax quietly in another room.

Dog bites also happen during the holidays. We may enjoy having a house full of guest, but this can be stressful for some pets and we need to keep everyone safe. Again make sure your pet had a place to go to get away if they want to. Give them their space and quiet time.

Wishing you all a safe and happy day!
