While nothing is 100% safe all the time. There really is little to worry about. All hunters in MA are required to pass a hunter safety course before obtaining a hunting license, and most are very safe.Also, MA deer hunting during thegun season is with short range shotguns rather than long range, high poweredrifles, so that adds to the safety factor. MA hasn't had a hunting fatality in decades depsite over 100,000 gun hunters out during the two week shotgun annually. Also, the crowd is more "spread out" with the expansion of quliaty deer hunting intoEastern MA.

Masswildlife reports a .00004 percent of injury/death associated with hunters nationwide. Thats safer than almost any other sport including golf!! Your husband has allot better chance of getting hurt driving to work.
