UPDATE: (2 p.m. Nov. 25, 2022) – Authorities have released more details on a Kanawha County hunting accident that sent one man to the hospital.

According to the Kanawha County Game Warden, a father and son were riding a side-by-side through bumpy terrain about one mile in the woods near Charles Lane in Alum Creek when a loaded firearm went off and shot the father in the abdomen.

Authorities say he was alert and able to drive the side-by-side the rest of the way in from the woods, and the son called 911 for medical assistance. The man was taken to the hospital, but there is no further update on his condition.

Three accidental shootings in three days during Nebraska’s deer season, and the memory of a fatal hunting accident in Wyoming last year, bring home the point that hunters can’t ever take gun safety for granted.

“I won’t allow a loaded rifle into my truck. Ever. Period,” Greybull hunter and trapper John Eckman told Cowboy State Daily.

He and other Wyoming outdoorsmen also said that a hunting rifle should always be carried with the firing chamber empty. Hunters don’t need to chamber a round until they’ve got a clear, safe shot lined up on big game animal, they said.

“Never, ever, ever chamber a round until you’re ready to shoot,” noted Wyoming outdoorsman Paul Ulrich of Pinedale told Cowboy State Daily.

Wisconsin saw a relatively high number of hunting incidents during the opening weekend of the 9-day gun deer season.

Six people were shot, including one that resulted in the death of an 11-year-old boy.

For perspective, last year there were six shooting incidents during the entire 9-day gun deer season and no deaths.

This year, all the incidents have either been someone accidentally shooting another person in their hunting party or themselves.

At the time, if someone said that climate change posed a threat to the world order, you would assume they were talking about the direct impacts of warming, or its second-order consequences. Analysts and scholars worried over scenarios in which unprecedented droughts or city-destroying floods would prompt mass migrations, destabilizing the rich world or giving rise to far-right nationalism. Or they worried that a global famine could send food prices surging, triggering old-fashioned resource wars. Or they fretted oversocial scienceshowing that weather fluctuations could lead to revolutions and civil wars.
