The North Bay OPP announced they will be working closely with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Conservation Officers throughout this hunting season.
The OPP released a list of rules for any hunting enthusiasts:
- You must wear solid hunter orange clothing including an orange head cover.
- You assure someone knows of your location, route, and date of return.
- You have to carry a map and compass with your GPS. Don’t depend on electronic navigation devices only.

- Check the weather and assure you have appropriate clothing and gear for the expected or unexpected changes in conditions.
- Learn how to safely build a fire, and carry the required supplies.
- Keep hydrated and pack nutritious food.
- Never drink alcohol and hunt.
- Carry a survival kit including a first aid kit with you.
