What is one of the four main types of hunting related shooting incidents?

One of the main types of hunting-related shooting incidents is known as a "mistaken for game" incident. This occurs when a hunter mistakenly identifies another person as game (such as a deer, turkey, etc.) and shoots at them. These incidents often happen in low-light conditions or when the target is partially obscured by brush or other obstacles, leading to a misidentification.

Mistaken for game incidents can result in serious injury or even death, as hunters are typically using firearms with significant stopping power. To prevent these types of incidents, hunters are advised to always positively identify their target before shooting, and to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Wearing bright, fluorescent orange clothing can also help to reduce the risk of mistaken for game incidents by increasing visibility to other hunters.
