14 Texas Hunters
Killed In Fall
Hunting Accidents
The Chief Clerk of the Game and
Fish Commission said 10 hunters
have died In accidents reported so
far this fall.
Gunfire was responsible for eight
of the fatalities. One man drowned
trying to retrieve a wounded duck.
One hunter was killed in an unusual
accident when his small duck boat
was rammed by a propellor driven
water craft.
The Chief Clerk said the accidents
were running behind the average
season despite the fact that an ap-
parently record number of hunting
licenses have been sold this fall.
The usual causes predominated,
he said. One man’s gun got caught
in the brush and was discharged,
killing him. Another hunter killed
himself when his gun was discharg-
ed while he used it to club a wound-
ed duck. Another was struck in the
side and killed when ho laid down
his gun with the muzzle toward
himself.
Up until December 1 one of the
common causes of accidents during
the deer season had not been blam-
ed for any bad shooting, according
to the chief clerk. This Involves One
hunter mistaking another hunter
for wild game.
However, he explained, one, such
fatality was reported before the
ltegal shooting season opened. It In-
volved a Livingston man, shot down
while deer hunting by his own father
who was partly blind.
The man killed by his Jewn gun
while trying to subdue a crippled
duck was Raymond C. Creed of
Amarillo. The shotgun blast struck
him in the groin, killing him almost
instantly.
The odd boat collision that killed
a duck hunter occurred in Taylor's
Bayou near Beaumont.
