Our worst nightmare is a fun hunting trip turned into a life-changing disaster. You may not want to think about the potential consequences of improper gun handling, but it’s essential that you understand the power every gun has. Keep reading to learn our top three gun safety tips hunters need to know so you can keep yourself and your hunting friends safe.
Treat Every Gun Like It’s Loaded
Even though it may sound silly, you should treat every gun as if it has the ability to load itself. You may be absolutely positive that you remembered to unload your firearm after your last hunting trip—in fact, you may be able to see that the bullets aren’t in the gun. No matter the case, always act as though your gun is loaded. A single round left in the chamber by accident can be deadly.
Know Your Target and Beyond
Never fire your weapon based on a flash of movement or a loud noise. This sort of hunting is sure to get someone hurt—who knows when that flash of movement will be your buddy walking through the trees to relieve themselves?
Keep this tip in mind when you go hunting for hogs. They may move quickly, but wait to fire your weapon until you have a clearly identified target and a safe background. For more hog hunting tips, read this helpful guide to bagging pigs.
Never Point at Something You Don’t Want To Shoot
There is never an instance where you should jokingly point a firearm at anything you don’t want to shoot. Horseplay of any type is unacceptable and dangerous with a gun—treat your firearms with the respect they deserve.
Hopefully, you were already familiar with these top three gun safety tips hunters need to know—if you were, consider this a reminder to keep following these essential safety measures. If not, never forget these suggestions, because they could save a life.

United Nations Video: SG Remarks on the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis
Secretary-General António Guterres extended his deepest condolences to Catholics, and all those around the world, inspired by the extraordinary life and example of His Holiness Pope Francis.
Speaking to reporters today (21 Apr), Guterres said, “Pope Francis was a messenger of hope, humility and humanity. He was a transcendent voice for peace, human dignity and social justice. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, service and compassion for all — especially those on the margins of life or trapped by the horrors of conflict.”
The Secretary-General continued, “Pope Francis was a man of faith for all faiths — working with people of all beliefs and backgrounds to light a path forward.”
“Through the years, we at the United Nations were greatly inspired by his commitment to the goals and ideals of our organization — a message I was honoured to convey in my meetings with him as Secretary-General,” Guterres added.
The UN chief said, “Pope Francis also understood that protecting our common home is, at heart, a deeply moral mission and responsibility that belongs to every person.”
“Many of us find great meaning in his final Easter message delivered just yesterday. He appealed for us not to yield to – as he called it – the ‘logic of fear’. Instead, he urged the world to invest in what he referred to as the ‘weapons of peace’ – to help the most vulnerable, to fight hunger, to advance development,” Guterres added.
The Secretary-General concluded, “Our divided and discordant world will be a much better place if we follow his example of unity and mutual understanding in our own actions.”
Pope Francis died today (21 Apr) the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.
