FRESH GROUNP CHUCK
Hunter Casualties Drop
Oregon hunters wre consid­
erably more careful with fire­
arm s in 1969 than they have been
for quite a spell and ended the
season with the fourth lowest
number of casualties lnthepast
12 years and the low est number
of deaths since 1951.
Records of hunter-caused
firearm accidents in 1969 com­
piled by Cal G lesler, hunter
safety supervisor for the Ore­
gon Game Commission, show 67
casualties, six of which were
fatal. The low point In the 12-
year period was 62 casualties
recorded in 1962.
However,
serious accidents w ere the
highest with 15 fatalities recor­
ded.
As usual, the records show
that the hunter Is his own worst
enemy through ca reless m is­
handling of his own firearm .
Ib is carelessn ess resulted In
39 self-inflicted woundlngs, two
of which w ere fatal.
A lso following the pattern of
the past, the vast majority of
accidents occurred at very
close range, with 52 victim s
within ten yards of the firearm
or shooter and 48 of these
within three yards. Six cas­
ualties were at distances of 11 to
50 yards and eight beyond the
50-yard range. Carrying loaded
firearm s in vehicles resulted In
17 casualties and pistols were
Involved in 16.
Ten victim s
w ere shot during Illegal hunting
activities.
Juvenile hunters caused 28
accidents, 14 of which were
self-inflicted wounds. Juvenile
casualties totaled 23, two of
which were the result of adult
carelessn ess. One youngster
lost his life when he was m is­
taken for a deer by his juvenile
hunting companion. The youths
CATSUP
7 0 -0 2 .
were hunting without licen ses or
tags and were hunting in a
closed area.
A seconddeath occurred when
a hunter shot at a deer and hit
the victim but was completely
unaware of the victim ’s p res­
ence.
Another deer hunter
shot and killed his hunting part­
ner when the victim suddenly
jumped into the line of fire.
While dressing out a deer he
had just shot, another hunter
was mortally wounded by an un­
known person. The fifth death
occurred when a loaded firearm
discharged Inside a vehicle and
the sixth occurred when a hunter
fell on his own shotgun.
C arelessn ess is behind most
erf the accidents as shown by re­
ports from the shooters as well
as som e of the victim s. Most
accidents occurred while hunt­
ers w ere crossing fences, driv­
ing the back roads with loaded
firearm s In veh icles, dropping
firearm s, resting the m uzzleof
rifle or shotgun on the foot,
placing a hand over the muzzle
of a loaded firearm , tripping or
falling over obstacles, or pull­
ing loaded firearm s from or
placing them in v eh icles. Sev­
eral victim s jumped Into line of
fire just as the shooters pulled
the trigger.
Contrary to popular belief
that hunters shoot at anything
that moves or makes a sound,
only In five Instances w ere the
victim s mistaken for gam e.
Three victim s were mistaken
for deer, one was mistaken for
an elk, and—believe it or not­
ons was mistaken for a rabbit.
Although hunting accidents
Involving firearm s are tragic
and usually receive much pub­
licity , hunting remains one of
the most enjoyable and safest
form s of outdoor recreation.
