I have a 1973 NZDA magazine in front of me which has an article titled The Hunting "Accident" - When Will People Learn? and containing the statistic that in the preceding year there were 109 "casualties" (undefined term) of firearms usage in New Zealand

Whereas in the past 10 years leading up to 2014, there were 19 fatalities and 57 injuries from hunting accidents

Sounds like in the past when things were a lot more relaxed, a whole shitload more people got accidentally shot, also.
