Gun Safety

• For safety reasons, we prefer you use an over-and-under or side-by-side shotgun.

• Your gun must be unloaded and the chamber open when you are around the lodge area. If you have a double barrel or over-and-under shotgun, please have them broken open.

• Do not load your gun in the field until your guide has indicated you to do so.

• While in the field, always keep your safety on until birds are flushed and you are readying to shoot.

• Your gun’s safety can fail. Be sure the muzzle is always pointed in a safe direction, away from people and dogs. Always have your muzzle pointed in a safe direction (normally straight up) even if the gun is unloaded.

• Alcohol consumption is absolutely not permitted before or during any hunt or while trap shooting. At the end of the day, we welcome you to enjoy our open bar for cocktails.

• No one under the age of 12 is permitted to handle a shotgun.12–15 year old hunters must be accompanied by a supervising adult and have completed a Hunter Education Course. Only one young gunner will be permitted on the ground at one time.

• Your guide has the authority to end your hunt if he deems it a safety risk for guides, other hunters, or the gundogs.
