Hunting Dangers
Although the number of hunting licenses has decreased across the United States over the past five years, the hunting industry still employs one million Americans and makes almost $23 billion annually. Although hunting is a fairly popular sport across the country, especially among males, it can also be incredibly dangerous. When guns or other hunting equipment malfunctions or is used recklessly, innocent people could be injured or even killed.

Possible Accidents
When individuals are experienced and act responsibly, hunting should be a perfectly safe activity. Unfortunately, individuals can act recklessly when hunting and some product manufacturers produce defective hunting goods, both of which can result in devastating and deadly accidents. Some of the most common causes of hunting accidents include the following:
- Accidental shootings – If hunters act negligently with firearms during hunting, transporting, or cleaning of guns, serious accidents can occur
- Defective firearms – Guns can unexpectedly misfire if they are defective in any way
- Defective blinds / stands – These structures put hunters high in the air and if they fall, they could easily cause a hunter to suffer a serious neck or head injury
