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.
