Iowa DNR encourages hunters to discuss hunting plan, safety after 2023 incidents
Published: , in Outdoor News
The opening weekend of Iowa’s second gun deer season saw another 50,000-plus hunters enjoying time in the timber in pursuit of whitetails. Unfortunately, there were three hunting incidents that serve as a reminder for hunters to review safety measures before heading out.
Two separate incidents involved the same issue — shooting at running deer — where deer were running between two hunters and one hunter was struck by a wayward shot from another in their party. The other incident involved a self-inflicted injury due to carelessly handling a firearm and lack of muzzle control.
