Gun hunting safety and Snake River use study update
The report shows gun hunting accidents per 100000 licenses dipped from 24 to 22.7 between 1968 and 1970, with deer and rabbit hunting key contributors. Youth ages 10 to 19 account for nearly half of involved shooters and victims, most incidents occur within 0 to 10 yards, and common causes include mistaken identity and loaded guns in vehicles. Also summarized is the Snake River study recording 6476 man days annually for fishing, hunting, boating, and other recreation, with anglers dominating usage and outdoorsmen preferring free flowing river stretches. The Idaho Fish and Game Commission plans a Boise meeting January 18 to set opening dates for 1972 big game seasons, with a public hearing January 19.
