Sometimes the worst weather conditions make for the best duck hunts — and the most dangerous situations.⁠
⁠
Compared to statistically risky activities like horse racing, boxing, or mountaineering, duck hunting is pretty safe. In fact, hunting in general is about as dangerous as going bowling or playing billiards if you look at reported injury stats. But any duck hunter who has been on the water late in the season knows there are real risks inherent in our pursuit. And sadly, we see the results of these risks every year in news headlines. So while it’s true that almost a million duck hunters hit the marsh every year without trouble, we also need to remember that there are deadly accidents every year. ⁠
