Following one death and another injury due to accidental shootings over the weekend, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is reminding everyone to practice safety during hunting season.
“The biggest time to usually have an accident is shooting at a running deer and not paying attention to what’s in the background,” said DNR Conservation Officer Aron Arthur.
23 shooting incidents were reported in 2016’s hunting season, 14 in 2017 and only 16 so far in the 2018 season.
Tips from the Iowa DNR
• Treat every firearm as if it is loaded
• Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
• Know your intended target and its surroundings
• Do not touch the trigger of the gun until you’re ready to shoot
