Safety tips from an Iowa State College specialist urge hunters to unload before handling and treat every gun as loaded. Key rules include never aiming at what you don’t intend to shoot, verify targets, avoid climbing with a loaded weapon, and keep muzzle direction controllable. Additional guidance covers safe fence crossing and passing the gun to a partner during climbs.
