Deer Hunting Safety

[Doc]

The most recent bunch of years, we have seen some pretty impressive hunter safety numbers when compared to the old days of the 60's and 70's. and we have all been patting ourselves on the back for being such good safe hunters. But the other day as I sat on the hillside, with what sounded like almost no one out hunting, I started thinking about those wonderful numbers and it occurred to me that perhaps the fantastic safety record probably is due more to the diminishing hunter participation.

What do you think? Are we getting fantastically safety-minded, or are there simply fewer hunters in the woods, spending fewer hours hunting?

I would think it's because the number of hunters has dropped dramatically !

Fewer hunters.
