A safe zone of fire is an area into which the hunter may safely shoot and where no persons, houses, outbuildings, or domestic animals are in range.

### What is a safe zone of fire when hunting with partners?

- Each hunter’s zone of fire is the area directly in front of the hunter that extends at a 45° angle

- Hunters must walk side by side
- A hunter must never swing or shoot outside the safe zone of fire
- Hunters must not move away from an established “stand” location without notifying all other hunters in the group
- Changing location will change the safe zone of fire for not only that hunter but for the rest of the hunting party

## What factors determine a safe zone of fire?

- The hunting location
- The shooting capabilities of the hunter
- The game being hunted
- The hunting strategy being used
