It's deer hunting season in Maine (with rifles, that is), and time for anybody who plans on spending any time out in the woods, whether you're hiking, mountain biking or whatever, to wear at least two items of blaze orange clothing.

Deer hunters are required to wear an orange hat and something orange on their torso. You should too.

Accidents happen. Why be a statistic? And dead?

And while there is no hunting allowed on in Maine on Sundays, why take a chance? Wear the orange clothing anyway!

And remember, if you venture across the border into the hinterlands of the Granite State, be advised that there IS hunting 7 days a week. No let up. So it's orange a go-go in the NH woods.

The Maine deer hunting rifle season goes until sunset on Saturday, November 26th.

New Hampshire's deer rifle season extends until Sunday, December 4th.

So wear orange and be safe!
