Pennsylvania Records Lowest Hunting Accidents Ever in 2000


Pennsylvania Game Commission reports that last year the state, which has America’s largest number of licensed hunters with more than one million participating, experienced the fewest number of hunting-related shooting incidents (HRSIs) since records were first kept beginning in 1915. In 2000, there were 69 such incidents with only three fatalities. The rate of HRSIs per 100,000 hunters was also the lowest rate on record at 6.72. The numbers reflect a continuing downward trend in hunting accidents that have declined nearly 80% since the state’s hunter education program began in 1959. “Hunter education instructors, student graduates and the entire hunting public should be congratulated for continuing to make hunting a safe activity,” said Keith A. Snyder who heads the Game Commission’s Hunter-Trapper Education Division.
