A lot goes into making a hunt successful, and most of it happens before you take to the field--like making sure your rifle is properly sighted in. It's not hard to do if you follow a few simple steps: first, and this is the first step when you do anything with a firearm, make sure it's unloaded.

Even under normal circumstances, it's almost impossible to speak to a representative for a government agency or company in just one try.
