The Peninsula Bruce Trail Club  strongly advises against all hiking on the Peninsula section of the Bruce Trail during the fall white tailed deer rifle hunting season from November 1 - 6, 2021.

Due to the potential risks involved during the remainder of the fall hunting season, hiking the Peninsula section should be undertaken with caution during all of November and December. Here are 6 tips for hiking during hunting season:

• Be aware: Understand that hunting is taking place. Know the seasons, dates, locations.
• Be visible: Wear hunter orange or another bright colour (as a hat, vest, scarf) and avoid beige, brown, white, red or green clothing.
• Make some noise: Talk, whistle, and generally let your presence be known.
• Keep your pet on a leash and use a bright vest, collar or leash to make your pet more visible.
• Avoid hiking at dawn and dusk, and anytime visibility is limited.
• Stick to established trails.
