Safety on the stand

The Hunter's Handbook · Norsk

A few simple habits that get everyone home.

Before and after

Load when you are in place on the stand, and unload before you leave it. Stay on the stand until the hunt is called off or something else is agreed, and tell the others before you move.

Positive identification

Never shoot at a sound, a movement or a silhouette. You must see what animal it is, and what is behind it.

See and be seen

Visible clothing lets drivers and other hunters see you. Many teams require it, even where the law does not.

Agree on communication and signals before the hunt: who reports shots, who ends the drive, and what to do if someone does not answer.

“Shot” is a button you press and hold, so it is not sent by accident, and the whole team sees where the shot was fired. Anyone sharing their position shows on the others' map — and if they enter someone's sector, the shooter is alerted.
