[QUOTE="bigcountryok, post: 877620, member: 4368"] The example you give was not hunting related. While tragic that a man lost his life, these were poachers who were operating outside of the hunting regulations and not using a bit of common sense. They were hunting with modern rifles during Muzzleloader season and not wearing orange. Deer ran between the two of them and one poacher shot hitting his poaching partner. Saying that hunting is dangerous and as a result you should expect and accept bodliy harm is not an accurate statement. Hunting accidents in OK are very rare and most involve treestands and the lack of a saftey harness. Would you classify a gun range as a dangerous place to be? Do you think children should be allowed to hunt even though it could be "dangerous"? I guess the bottom line is that statements like "hunting is dangerous" is a dramatic and unrealistic statement that just gives ammo to the antis. There are hazards in life, but in the woods hunting IMO is safer than most places people go for recreation. Maybe I'm missunderstanding how you define dangerous. I appologize for derailing the thread. I hope everyone has a safe and outstanding hunting season. [/QUOTE]
