What is the main cause of hunting incidents?

Lack of skill
Inattention
Equipment failure
Being out of practice

The correct answer is: Inattention

Possible explanation Hunting incidents can occur due to a variety of reasons, but the main cause is usually linked to a lack of attention from the hunter. This can include not properly identifying the target, not following firearm safety rules, or being unaware of one's surroundings. While it is important for hunters to have the necessary skills and practice, those may not always be the main contributing factor to a hunting incident. Similarly, equipment failure and not being in practice may play a role, but they are not the primary cause of such incidents. Only by being fully attentive to one's actions and surroundings can hunting incidents be greatly reduced.
