Abstract
This paper analyses the deaths of 33 deer hunters, shot by other deer hunters while hunting in the New Zealand bush. The shot is identified as the culminating event that is preceded by a number of contributing factors. Those factors are outlined and a range of protective behaviours listed. These are specific to deer hunting and, taken together with the New Zealand Arms Code, provide suggestions for minimizing the occurrence of these tragic incidents.
