WI DNR to Hunters: Don’t Shoot Yourself

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – State wildlife officials are warning hunters not to shoot themselves as the November gun deer season approaches. Department of Natural Resources Hunter Education Administrator Tim Lawhern says self-inflicted injuries account for 40 to 50 percent of the total number of hunting incidents each year. Lawhern says hunters should remember to to never point a loaded gun at themselves or anyone else. They also should remember to keep their fingers out of the trigger guard until they’re ready to fire. The nine-day November gun season opens on Nov. 20.
