It often does, but sometimes there are just unfortunate accidents. A few years back, a guy from my area fell out of his deer blind, broke his neck and died. You'd think alcohol would be the culprit, but in the autopsy it turned out he had had a heart attack and that's why he fell.
That being said, I'm from Michigan, and it's a big mix of responsible hunters and irresponsible hunters. A lot of hunting culture is tied in with gun culture, and in turn conservative white guy culture, and I think that's why you have assholes who fuck around like the guy who shot the other in Osceola did. It's like it doesn't occur to them that anything could go awry for them as a direct result of their own stupid behavior.
As for drinking while hunting, some do, and others are still drunk from the previous night.
