hunting accidents were down in 2009 according to national statistics . 219 accidental shootings resulting in 19 deaths. not listed were accidents involving other means, accidental falls from deerstands, animal attacks, and the run of the mill accidents such as falls, broken or sprained ankles or cuts using an axe or hatchet or knife, something I'm well aware of since i did have an accident slicing open a milk jug full of ice for an outing which resulted in three stitches and a cut artery in my thumb.
this year, the season starts with turkey season in a few weeks . turkey hunters are a different breed from deer hunters, we're quiet, stationary and have to be careful, not shooting at anything
that moves. we are a serious bunch. alcohol plays a large part of unreported accidents. hunting and
drinking dont mix. never have and never will. i know a few drunkards who hunt. not on my land...
