Hunting Safety


There are many members who hunt in the cooperative’s service territory. Deer, elk, turkey, doves, squirrel, and rabbits are plentiful in Northeast Oklahoma.


Knowing what you are shooting at and what is behind the game is important. Look to see if there is a house, power lines, or an electric substation in the direction you are shooting. A rifle shot can carry several miles.


Safety is important while hunting. Do not get so involved in your hunting that you forget to watch for hazards. Never cross a fence, climb a tree, or ladder, or jump in a ditch with a loaded gun. Always wear hearing and eye protection. Don’t drink alcohol or take drugs before or while handling firearms. If you are using a shotgun, be careful not to fire at power lines, insulators or electric substations. Doves sitting on a pow- er line are tempting, but please don’t fire until they are clear

of the power lines. One misplaced shot can cause a major outage, start a fire, or cause an injury. We wish you a safe and enjoyable hunting season. Keep it safe for you, and for those of us who are out working the lines to bring electricity to you.


LREC in the Community Keys Public School Homecoming Parade


Lake Region Electric Cooperative was happy to participate in the Keys Public School Homecoming parade. Parents and kids seemed to enjoy seeing the new Chevy Volt electric car and of course the candy thrown. LREC promotes electric and hybrid vehicles as an alternative to high fuel costs. The Chevy Volt averages 2.8 cents per mile on the current LREC electric rates. LREC is proud to be a part of local commu- nity events like these.
