You know you can take a first aide class thru the redcross real cheap.

Problem here, he had waders on. They didn't check nor see how bad he was bleeding. First aide would of helped. Just about everybody has a belt on.

Simple solution to this. Unload the gun outside of the actual hunt.

Yeah, you really need to assess the wound, especially in areas of major arteries like the thigh. Belts are ok in a pinch but nowhere close the the effectiveness of an actual tourniquet
