Ah. when was the last fatality in CO during hunting season from a gunshot wound? Certainly not every year for sure.I believe less than half a dozen in twice as many years. Agreed that 1 is too many.

More people are killed from skiing into trees every year or waving golf clubs around in a lightening storm. I don't see any one waving a banner that everyone should go skiing without wearing skis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

You are correct, assess your risk and act accordingly

Sitting in a vehicle in your garage. Zero Risk
Hunting hot. Infinitely less than driving down I25



If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
