Return to Story IndexHUNTING SAFETY
AS PATRICK MCMURTRY TELLS US IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE REPORT, SAFETY SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING YOU THINK ABOUT. The deer are everywhere this year, and because there isn't a lot of food out there for them, they'll be moving. This shapes up to be an exciting buck season, but before you get too excited, you need to make sure you are safe in the woods. 4:11-29Jerry Payne/DNR Conservation Officer says: "The number one thing is to always be safe. Whether you're handling a firearm, in a tree stand, that's where most of the incidents occur where somebody gets hit-pulling a fire arm up out of a tree stand. You need to be sure you know how a tree stand works if you're using a climber, and you need to be sure how the gun works if you're using a new rifle." That's good advice, you don't want to get hurt before you even have a chance to set up and start hunting. Here's something else you need to keep in mind. 4:41-01Jerry Payne/DNR Conservation Officer says: "In WV, we have a state law that says you are required to wear blaze orange. Also, that's anytime there is a deer firearm season, whether it's muzzle loader, rifle season, anytime there's a deer season, if you're hunting deer or not, you're required to wear blaze orange." You also need to make sure you know the rules and regulations-things can change a little from year to year and it's your responsibility to know limits and laws. But one thing's for sure, deer hunting is fun and it's a great way to spend some time with your kids. 6:59Jerry Payne/DNR Conservation Officer says: "In WV, we have the deer firearm season for bucks and we have concurrent antlerless season going on at the same time. It's a good time if your children have the proper license to get them out there and get them involved. We do have another youth season at the end of December to get out there and hunt with them." That's what I plan to do. Remember, check out your gear, wear your blaze orange and know this years rules and regs. Also, The DNR would also like to remind hunters that this Sunday is the last day to buy your additional buck stamp. Be safe and I'll see you at the check station. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SAFE HUNTING, GO TO WCHSTV dot COM SLASH WILDLIFE, OR E-MAIL PATRICK DIRECTLY.

Return to Story IndexHOLIDAY TRAVEL
HERE'S A LOOK AT HOLIDAY TRAVEL, 2009 STYLE. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IS UP THIS YEAR... AND TRIPLE A SAYS THAT MEANS SO WILL THANKSGIVING TRAVEL. The average this year we're showing travelers spending over 700 dollars for the trip. its actually up from last year. BUT THE METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION IS CHANGING- EVEN WITH HIGHER GAS PRICES- AN AVERAGE OF 50 CENTS MORE A GALLON THAN THIS TIME LAST YEAR. CAR TRAVEL OVER THANKSGIVING IS EXPECTED TO GO UP 2.1 PERCENT OVER LAST THANKSGIVING, WHILE AIR TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE BY 6.7 PERCENT-EVEN THOUGH FLIGHTS ARE SLIGHTLY MORE AFFORDABLE THEN LAST YEAR- IT'S STILL TOO MUCH TO PAY FOR MANY PASSENGERS. Comparing the places to fly and then with the baggage and parking, the economy lot. Everything adds up. In addition to the cost, there's also an aggravation factor now associated with air travel, those so called convenience fees that airlines are charging. We find that consumers typically want to gauge, this is how much I'm going to spend. They may save for it or budget towards it and if that gets thrown off that, it really can disrupt their trip or add additional stress. REGARDLESS OF HOW AMERICANS GET TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE THIS YEAR- THE GOOD NEWS ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A IS- THEY ARE GOING, A POSITIVE SIGN HEADING INTO THE NEW YEAR. FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M SAMANTHA HAYES. TRIPLE A SAYS THEIR STUDY LOOKED AT PEOPLE TRAVELING 50 MILES OR MORE. THE AVERAGE MILEAGE ROUND-TRIP THIS YEAR IS 815 MILES.
