BOISAR Coordinator Shawn Street says the most important thing is to have a plan and make people aware of it.
Bay of Islands Search and Rescue is advising hunters and people who are heading into the woods to always make a trip plan and let people know about it. Moose hunting season has started and hunters need to keep safety in mind. BOISAR Coordinator Shawn Street says the most important thing is to have a plan and make people aware of it. Street says if someone leaves details of a trip plan and they haven’t returned by the designated time, contact police immediately. Krista Tarbett is the treasurer of Bay of Islands Search and Rescue. She says it’s easy to get lost and it’s important to bring some essentials. Hunters should also wear bright colours and carry a whistle around their necks. Ten feet in the woods can turn into ten miles if you make a wrong turn.
