When you see us hunters constantly saying "know your target and beyond," Its because one day it could be you in the tree, or your son making a terrible mistake. Please, at the end of the day, we all want to go home to our families.
Here is Wayne's story
Ok so as promised i'll try to right the story of my accident but won't make it to long. First of all I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me in any way even if it was just wishing me well, its been an extremely rough road and ill most likely suffer for the rest of my life.
On September 22 at roughly 7:30 P.M. I was sitting in my hang on stand on a cut line on crown land about a mile behind my house. as light was starting to fade a atv approached but stopped at Roughly 100 yards then proceeded to turn around and takeoff. I thought it was my neighbour not wanting to disturb me, so I wrote him a quick text but evidently he never received it. About ten minutes later a side by side came and stopped at the same place, which I thought was very weird, so I got up and was getting ready to get down to go talk to them but I seen somebody run to the edge of the cutline. so I figured they had seen a bear, since we have loads of them around. Thats when HORROR! struck! A feeling that's carved into my memory it gives me nightmares I dream that I'm there in that puddle of blood just to wake up in a puddle of sweat shaking like a horrified dog. all I remember is seeing that vapour wave and feeling a thud on my body from a 7mm bullet. At first I didn't know where I had been hit but I screamed for help and gasped for air because I could just imagine my lungs filling with blood. I lifted my shirt and the blood poured out! then I got dizzy so I clung to the tree. Next thing I knew I woke up on the ground with my neighbour putting pressure on the wound, then I realized my lungs weren't filling up I think that's what kept me from blacking out. it took roughly 45 minutes for stars and the rest of the first responders to get there. they made quick work and carried me out by stretcher roughly half a mile. as soon as I was in the chopper they gave me four units of blood, they flew me to Grande Prairie and from there on a Learjet to Edmonton. apparently they flew in a couple of Canadas best doctors and if I understand right they worked on me about six hours, they pulled an artery from my left leg for my shoulder because the bullet hit the main artery to my arm. so the main reason my arm is paralyzed is because it was without blood to ten hours. They say with lots of therapy I might get it back but the chances are slim. so long story short the first quad was the neighbours daughter she thought she saw a cougar, she then went and got her dad and brother. when they got there before the dad even got a chance to look the 14 year old son had pulled the trigger... the Dad ended up saving my life by applying compression and calling emergency. they turned themselves in and I'm happy with how things were dealt. Dear fellow hunters I hope this will be a sharp reminder to use your brains! the only reason I'm alive is because the same caliber bullet that I've seen go through a moose didn't make it through my shoulder. if it would've gone through they could have never stopped the bleeding enough. And another thing I want to add is I've heard Quite a bit complaints about the police/fish cops lately yes they make there mistakes and even I've had some officers that were not considerate. But the police I dealt with was willing to put blood on his hands to save my life and he called my wife almost everyday after just to make sure things were ok. therefore I'm gratefull for them and really they're humans just like us they will make mistakes but they're doing there job and they deal with a lot of crappy people!
hopefully I didn't miss to much or make it to long
