Incident Reports 2002 to 2007

The following table identifies the number of Non-fatal and Fatal Class A Hunting Incidents reported by States, Canadian Provinces, and some foreign countries for 2002 through March 30, 2008. Incidents reported for the years 2006 and earlier likely represent the total for that jurisdiction. Many agencies delay reporting for a variety of reasons, and a few rarely, if ever, report hunting incidents. In a few cases the zero reports means that no Class A incidents occurred for that year.

Class A Hunting Incidents include those where a person is injured or killed as a result of a shooting while hunting.
