November is here. That means hunting activities are picking up – and there’s extra need to be careful.
Rifle hunting for deer, with the use of dogs, is permitted between Nov. 7 and 20, OPP says. So if residents hear firearms, they may not need to be alarmed.
But police suggest if you’re walking through popular hunting areas, wear a bright orange vest or hat, so you’re visible. Dog walkers might also want to put bright colours or a bell on their pets.

Police also say if you come across a hunting dog and it doesn’t appear stressed, it’s probably making its way back to its owner. But if you have concerns, check its collar for a number to call.
