“Everyone who hunts should know first aid,’ Mr. Goetz said. “Most Red Cross chapters offer free courses in it regularly.”
To prevent accidental gunshot wounds, he added, read and remember these rules:
Never point at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
Wear bright colors when hunting and knew the terrain. A fall can cost you your life if you are carrying a loaded gun.
Take along a small first aid kit, a compass, knife or hatchet, and matches.
Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Never take anyone else’s word that a gun is “empty.”
Be sure of your target. Never shoot at noises -- wait until the whole animal or bird is visible.
Know the correct way to carry your gun -- under arm, shouldered, cradled, or with both hands. Make sure safety is on, finger outside trigger guard, muzzle in safe direction and under control.
Keep the safety on or the chamber unloaded until ready to fire... and keep your finger out of the trigger guard.
Be sure your ammunition is the right caliber and powder load for your gun.
Check bore through the breech and before loading to be sure it is clear of foreign objects. Repeat this check frequently while hunting.
Be sure the action is open when handing the gun to another ie*o«o«o*e»e*o»e»o»eete»e*o*o*o
