Due to the fact that the economy has dramatically changed since the renaissance, and man has fewer reasons to hunt for food, hunting is now considered a form of sport to many. Today, hunting courses are available for those who want to learn how to hunt. These hunting courses aim to promote responsible hunting to avoid accidents such as unintentionally hurting other hunters or killing young animals, and to inform would-be hunters about the government laws and local regulations in hunting on certain areas.

Since hunting courses became available for training new hunters, reports of accidents in hunting had decreased in many areas and states.
