Fatal Hunting Accidents By State

Statistically speaking Hunting is one of the safest sports a person can participate in, but incidents still occur. There are about two - three accidental deaths per state each year related to some sort of "hunting accident". While any loss of life is tragic, these incidents represent a very low accident rate when considering to the hundreds of thousands of people who are participating in hunting activities. 

It should also be noted that deaths related to hunting accidents aren't just from shooting accidents. Falls from treestands make up a large portion of both fatal and non-fatal hunting related accidents.
