One hundred four patients treated for injuries incurred while hunting were prospectively studied during two consecutive fall seasons. A questionnaire was completed at initial evaluation and hospital records were subsequently reviewed. One hundred (98%) patients were male. Patient ages ranged from 10 to 78 years (median = 32 years). Mechanism of injury included knife or arrow penetrations (25), firearm wounds (12), falls (17), overexertion (5), and misadventures with hazards (40). Soft tissue, maxillofacial and orthopedic injuries predominated. Four patients experienced cardiac events. Hypothermia was noted in three, and animal-related injuries occurred in five. Eighteen (17%) patients were hospitalized. Serious injury was evident in 34 (33%). There were no deaths. Outpatient follow-up was necessary in 90%. Mishaps most frequently occurred because of overexcitement, unfamiliarity with equipment, or carelessness. Alcohol and drug use were only rarely identified. Almost one half of patients were injured during the 9-day gun deer hunting season. A wide variety of injuries occur during hunting activities. While many are minor, serious morbidity with potential long-term disability may result. Costs in time and money may be substantial. Simple measures could prevent many hunting-related mishaps.
在连续两个秋季对104名因狩猎受伤接受治疗的患者进行了前瞻性研究。在初始评估时完成了一份问卷，随后查阅了医院记录。100名（98%）患者为男性。患者年龄在10至78岁之间（中位数 = 32岁）。受伤机制包括刀或箭刺伤（25例）、火器伤（12例）、跌倒（17例）、过度劳累（5例）以及遭遇危险（40例）。软组织、颌面和骨科损伤占主导。4名患者发生心脏事件。3例出现体温过低，5例发生与动物相关的损伤。18名（17%）患者住院。34名（33%）患者有明显的重伤情况。无死亡病例。90%的患者需要门诊随访。事故最常因过度兴奋、不熟悉设备或粗心大意而发生。很少发现有饮酒和吸毒情况。近一半的患者在为期9天的猎鹿季节受伤。狩猎活动中会发生各种各样的损伤。虽然许多损伤较轻，但可能导致严重发病并伴有潜在的长期残疾。时间和金钱成本可能很高。简单的措施可以预防许多与狩猎相关的事故。
