Deer-hunting season is underway in much of the United States. Sadly, some of the first kills were hunters.

Two hunting deaths were reported in Wisconsin—one was a shooting incident, the other was from natural causes. A third was shot dead while hunting in Indiana with a wound that seems to have been self-inflicted.
