Saskatchewan RCMP offers reminders to hunters

Provincial
Written By The Chronicle

Hunting season has started and Saskatchewan RCMP detachments are starting to get reports of stolen firearms, ammunition and other related items. This past week, a duck hunter in the Central Saskatchewan area left a vehicle parked while hunting and returned to find a shotgun, shotgun shells and binoculars missing from his truck.

Saskatchewan RCMP reminds hunters:

  • Never leave firearms unattended in a vehicle, especially overnight. Even if they are out of sight within the vehicle, other hunting equipment can signal the potential presence of a gun and a thief may be willing to break in to check.

  • Only bring as many firearms as you are willing to carry with you to hunt. Don’t leave guns at a camp/blind when you aren’t around.

  • Always use trigger locks and secure firearms cases with some type of locking mechanism.

  • Remember, it is illegal to have a loaded firearm in a vehicle.
