Muzzleloader hunting season for deer begins locally today and runs through November 12. Regular firearms season for deer is November 13 - December 8. Archery season has been underway for weeks. Waterfowl and other bird seasons are also ongoing.

Hunting is allowed in Dunbarton's conservation areas.

Those who will be sharing the woods with hunters are advised to wear blaze orange or another highly visible color and lots of it to make yourself stand out. Do not wear tan or white. If you are out with your dog, make sure it is highly visible too.
