What is the main cause of death in hunting incidents?

  1. Drowning

  2. Heart attacks

  3. Falls from tree stands

  4. Gunshot wounds

The correct answer is: Drowning

Drowning is the most common cause of death in hunting incidents due to accidental falls into water while hunting or from boating incidents. Option B, heart attacks may occur while hunting, but they are not the main cause of death. Option C, falls from tree stands are also a common cause of hunting-related injuries, but not the leading cause of death. While option D, gunshot wounds, may seem like a likely cause of death in hunting incidents, studies have shown that unintentional gunshot wounds account for a very small percentage of hunting-related deaths.
