Turkey hunting season is now open in Wisconsin, and the DNR is reminding those participating to practice good firearm safety.
Hunters and public land users may be sharing fields and forests during the season and need to be aware and alert of others in their area.
Hunters should also follow safety rules, while non-hunters enjoying public lands should consider wearing blaze orange.
Turkey hunters tend to wear camouflage to help ensure a successful hunt, but that could make things more dangerous as they could be mistaken for a turkey by other hunters.
People are being advised to not wear anything red, white, or blue while in areas where people turkey hunt, because hunters that see a flash of those colors could mistake you for a turkey.
