Default RE: Hunting Accidents

Hunting is one of the safest sports around. However, accidents can and do happen and when guns are involved, they can be serious very easily. Have you taken a Firearm Safety Course? Sounds like you probably havent. Please do, they provide a lot of great info. A lot of accidents happen when you are loading and unloading. When you are doing that, stand away from the group and give it your undivided attention. Only after you are absolutely sure you have all the ammo out of your gun should you rehash the days events, etc. Three rules that I feel are very important:
1. Always control your muzzle.
2. Treat every gun as if it is loaded.
3. Know your target and what is beyond your target.
