The Polk County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind hunters to use proper firearm safety as we enter the hunting season. Remember the four basics to firearm safety,
- Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
- Never point the muzzle of the firearm at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
- Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
