Where should you leave a travel plan?

Leaving a travel plan with family or friends is the best practice for safety during hunting or outdoor activities. This ensures that someone who is not participating in the trip is aware of your intended location and schedule. In the event of an emergency or if you fail to return at the expected time, your family or friends will have the necessary information to take appropriate action, such as notifying authorities or organizing a search.

While leaving the plan online or at home might seem convenient, it does not guarantee that someone will check that information in the event of an emergency. Relying solely on a hunting partner can also be risky, as circumstances can change, and they may not be in a position to communicate your whereabouts. Having a wider circle informed enhances safety and increases the chances of a timely response if needed.
