Selectman urges caution during hunting season

Oct 19, 2016

Selectman Chair Judith Whiteside warned all nature-loving residents to be careful while out in the woods during hunting season at the board's Tuesday night meeting.

According to Whiteside, it is the beginning of bird hunting season and people are allowed to shoot from dawn to dusk.

“So if you're anywhere near any water or uplands, wear orange, scream and yell, make a lot of noise, so that you don't get shot,” said Whiteside. “Shortly we will be having game hunting season as well. I advise you to be very careful. Wear international distress orange.”

Whiteside also invited residents to help keep the town during her announcements. She asked volunteers to pick up trash during a clean up along the Narrows on Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 9 to 10 a.m.
