What is a major cause of firearm accidents among hunters?

  1. Incorrect ammunition

  2. Using firearms during bad weather

  3. Failure to control the gun muzzle

  4. Lack of experience with the firearm

The correct answer is: Failure to control the gun muzzle

One of the major causes of firearm accidents among hunters is failure to control the gun muzzle. This means not being aware of where the gun is pointing at all times and accidentally shooting at another person or oneself. While incorrect ammunition, using firearms during bad weather, and lack of experience with the firearm can also contribute to accidents, they are not as prevalent as failure to control the gun muzzle. It is important for hunters to always be aware of where their gun is pointing to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
