Man thoughts for him. I’m honestly surprised he lived to make it to the hospital alive. Shotgun blast to the femoral artery is very very bad. Hopefully the waders and what not slowed down some of the blast.

I hope his kibbles and bits are okay if he survives. I’m guessing it was close range like under 10 yards?

This accident has taken center stage for most everybody that duck hunts up here in NE LA. We were talking about it last night actually. Somebody said he coded multiple times while being transported via LifeFlight. Like you said, he is lucky to be alive. I hate it for the guy because everybody that knows him said he is a solid dude but this is the exact reason we always case our guns after unloading them/leaving action open/declaring clear when we are moving from a pit, boat, or blind to vehicle.
