I read that he was trying to finish off a wounded deer with a knife and ended up stabbing himself in the leg cutting his femoral artery.

So sad…

Not the first time. I know a guy here in the county who almost bled to death doing the same thing. He had the presence of mind to stick a finger in the artery was the only thing that saved him.

wow. Y'all arent Rambo. Stand off and use a bullet.

So sad.

 

[Ark]

Hardcore.

I'd have used a 45 but you do you man.

Accidents can happen to anyone. Be prepared and carry a tourniquet into the woods every time you go.

 

[Dholcomb]

Was expecting a fall from a stand, not that. That’s horrible.

Must be a horrible situation to be in knowing you're bleeding out and nothing you have on hand is stopping it. I carry a TQ and a bleeder/boo-boo kit in my pack in a pocket I can quickly get to.

 

[Cavman]

Did this happen in indiana or Kentucky? Obituary didn't say except funeral is down in ky

A tourniquet, improvised or commerical, may have likely saved his life. It's hard telling without seeing where the artery was severed. It could have been high enough (Blackhawk Down scenario) where only a correctly and quickly placed hemostatic agent would have a chance. A person can bleed to death in 4 minutes or less from an arterial bleed. That's not alot of time when you're packing your own wound. One is at least somewhat coherent only for the first minute or two.
