SOCIAL CIRCLE — Are you among the thousands headed to the woods in search of Ole’ Tom Turkey this spring? Before going, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division encourages all hunters to take time to review important turkey hunting safety tips.

“Practicing safe firearms handling is the best way to keep yourself, and others, protected while hunting,” Jennifer Pittman, statewide hunter education administrator with the Wildlife Resources Division, said in a news release. “Once you ensure that firearms safety practices are in place, you also want to review and practice precautions that are specific to turkey hunting.”
