Practice C3 system for enjoyable Hunt In the days and weeks ahead, thousands of Utah and non-resident nimrods will take to the mountains, the fields and the marshes in search of their chosen quarry. The enjoyment and satisfactions that will be experienced by those hunters hun-ters will be impossible to measure, but unfortunately there will be some instances that will mar those pleasures. The fact is, however, that in almost every case, those unpleasant instances could be avoided if the sportsmen would keep in mind the C3 formula for a safe and enjoyable hunt. The first "C" is common sense. Accidents don't just happen; they are caused, usually by someone who momentarily forgot to exercise common sense. Think ahead and consider the consequences of your act before the fact. We are all masters of hindsight, but i using good old common sense can go a long way toward preventing that unpleasant experience. Secondly, remember the second "C" which is caution. Exercise caution at all times when dealing with firearms. You cannot recall that shot once squeezed off, so be cautious and be certain of your target. And be cautious, also, with any kind of fire in the forest or field. Fire can destroy the recreational opportunities for all of us, so combine common sense with caution and prevent that incident you might wish had never happened. And finally, the third "C" is consideration. Be considerate con-siderate of your fellow sportsman' and in every case, consider what result your action might bring. If you use the formula correctly, the end result should be a safe and enjoyable en-joyable hunt. |
