Carelessness tops list of causes in Wisconsin's first deer gun season with 46 gunshot accidents. The season ran from Nov 21 to Nov 29, ending after a stray bullet wounded a hunter minutes before close. Names of counties, ages, and weapon types appear for each incident.
During the nine day deer gun season there were seven gunshot fatalities and 41 injuries, up from last year. Hunters injured include 15 self inflicted incidents with 31 rifle based accidents and 36 percent from group hunting. Tree stands caused 53 percent of self inflicted accidents and 74 percent of victims were actively shooting at deer.
