Our Toledo, Ohio hunting accident attorneys want to remind hunters to be careful this fall and winter in order to prevent Ohio hunting accidents.

Even the most careful hunters can be injured while outdoors. It is important to remember these safety tips to keep yourself and others free from injury or fatality from an Ohio hunting accident.

Guns and bows are serious weapons, and should be treated that way. Always assume that it is loaded and ready to shoot.

Never point your gun or bow at another person, if you know that it is not loaded. Always point your weapon in a safe direction and keep the safety on until you are ready to shoot.

Clearly identify your target before you shoot, to make absolutely sure you are shooting at another animal and not a person. Never try to climb into a tree stand, or do major maneuvering with a loaded gun – unload it first. Getting somewhere quickly means nothing if a hunting accident occurs and someone gets hurt.
