Hunting During This Evolving Health Situation

We recommend that you hunt only with people living under your roof, bring all the food and drink you'll need, sleep in a tent or your vehicle, carry plenty of hand sanitizer and use it. If you’ve been sick in the 2 weeks prior to your hunt, stay home. As always, safety first.
