• The use of guns during hunting season involves taking many safety precautions.

UPDATE: MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - With hunting season just around the corner, safety should always be number one...

ORIGINAL STORY: MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - That's why many hunters practice before venturing out with their guns. At Rose Lake Rifle Range, in Bath Township, hunters come out in droves each weekend to get a feel for the guns they will be using. In addition to making sure your firearm works, Todd Thorn, Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources, stresses there are other things to worry about, like what you should be wearing. "Always make sure you're wearing hunter's orange and it's visible from all sides", said Thorn. "You don't want anyone to mistake you for an animal".
