I know several people that I really like but if they are going to be in the woods, I have other plans.

What I read after the above post:
According to the International Hunter Education Association, in an average year, fewer that 1,000 people in the US and Canada are accidentally shot by hunters, and of these, fewer than 75 are fatalities. In many cases, these fatalities are self-inflicted by hunters who trip, fall, or have other accidents that cause them to shoot themselves with their own weapons. Most of the other fatalities come in hunting parties, where one hunter shoots another accidentally.
From what I understand, 55% of hunting accident injuries in Florida involve stand collapse or people climbing in or out of stands.
