"Hunter" 70s Ontario government PSA

This public service announcement addresses the problem of hunters using highway signs for target practice. The film highlights the financial burden placed on Ontario citizens—exceeding $50,000 annually—due to the replacement of damaged road signs. By emphasizing that these signs are vital for public safety and warning about the dangers of stray ricochets, the narrator encourages sportsmen to use harmless alternatives like tin cans for target practice instead.
