Before the Tailgate Drop: What is your safety plan in case of emergency?
Description
When the hunt starts, safety has to come first — because one mistake in the field can change everything. In this episode, we’re talking real talk about hunter safety and awareness: handling your firearm the right way, keeping control when the excitement hits, and making sure everyone — dogs and people — make it home safe.
We’ll cover why every hunter should have a first aid kit and tourniquet ready in the truck, and what you can do to treat a wound until help arrives. Plus, we’ll talk dog safety and field care — from hydration to pressure dressings and how to handle cuts, punctures, or accidents when your dog gets hurt out there.
This isn’t just about hunting smart — it’s about hunting responsibly. Because before you drop the tailgate, there’s one goal that matters most: everyone goes home.
