Here are some safety measures to consider with dove hunting season opening in Fresno County.
- Residents can expect to hear increased noise from Sept. 1 – 15 and should not be alarmed.
- Hunters must make sure they have written permission from property owners to be on their land.
- Be aware of your surroundings. Realize there may be other hunters walking the property and you should also know your shooting backdrop.
- If you as a hunter are contacted by law enforcement, put the safety on your rifle, set it down and cooperate with the officer.
- This is a split season which will pick back up in November.
- Hunters must be familiar with the county’s no-shoot zones, which can be viewed by clicking the links at the bottom of the page or you can visit the Fresno County Sheriff's Office website http://www.fresnosheriff.org/community/safety/no-shooting-maps.html
