⚠️ Hunting season is underway in the Hudson Valley. ⚠️ Deer hunting is important for conservation in our region, but this time of year hunters & hikers need to be cautious of one another.
.
For hikers, before your next trek, take the following safety precautions:
✅ Know when & where hunting is allowed. Specific park websites should provide that info.
🔶 Wear bright clothing (think orange, red, yellow).
🐶 Keep your pet leashed. And outfit them in a fluorescent harness or other bright colors as well.
☀️ Hike during the day. Hunters are most active as dawn & dusk.
🥾 Stay on marked trails.
🔊 Make some noise! Deer don't carry on conversations, so making some moderate noise, while being respectful to your fellow hikers, is the best way to identify yourself.
