The deer hunting season is here and conservation authorities are reminding hunters of some basic things to keep themselves safe.
DNR Conservation Police Sargent John Williamson notes the archery season is underway and there's plenty of places to get out and hunt.
If you have not been out to hunt yet, Williamson says it is best to get out and get those tree stands checked. He says by this time of the year he's heard or responded to a call of a collapsed tree stand.
Cross-bows are now a legal way to use during the archery season.
The first shotgun season will open before the Thanksgiving weekend.
