I’ll be covering key messages for Nebraska’s popular archery deer hunting season opener on my  WOWT-TV/Channel 6 Outdoor Report this week. The season kicks off on Sunday! One of the messages I’ll be relaying to fellow deer hunters this season  is the importance of wearing a tree stand safety harness.

My friends at Outdoor Life magazine say it’s vital to be a “smart dummy” and use a safety harness if you’re going to be hunting from an elevated position.

I’ll cover much more important information that you need to know regarding Nebraska’s 2013 archery deer hunting season on my report which airs LIVE on Omaha’s WOWT-TV/Channel 6 or online at www.wowt.com Thursday evening during the station’s 6 p.m. CST sportscast.

If you’re unable to view the live broadcast of it, I remind you that video replays of the outdoor report can be seen after the initial cast at this link: www.wowt.com/sports The report can also be accessed on Digital Channel 6.2 and Cox Cable Channel 120. Additionally, Channel 6 runs the weekly outdoor report on Saturdays later in its hour-long 8 a.m. newscast. The Channel 6 Sports Machine crew and I thank you for watching and your interest in Nebraska’s great outdoors!
