Here’s what we discuss:
Incident occurred on the final day of deer gun season
Information about a chronic poacher operating in the area
Poacher had previously served prison time
Setting up a decoy in a rural area
Shooter was less than fifty feet away
Shot from behind with a 20-gauge slug
You feel being shot before you hear it
Reverted to training: communicate, move, shoot
Hit the emergency button on portable radio
Legs wouldn’t work
Goal was to stay alive until someone arrived
Felt like molten steel
Shattered pelvis, multiple organs damaged
Shock wave travelled through the skull
“Bring more combat gauze.”
Concerns about potential ambush
New goal: stay alive until EMTs arrived
In and out of consciousness
New goal: stay alive until landing at the hospital
Accept the fact that you have been shot
Use those few seconds to focus on training - and act
Requested the level one trauma centre
Milliseconds count
Shooter had a thermal scope – what did he see?
Offered no aid. Threw gun and ran.
Potentially more homicides in this felon’s future
Some light moments on a dark day
28 days in ICU
Fifteen surgeries to date
The long road back
Your mindset matters
Most internal organs were damaged
Nobody gets a free pass from PTSD
Learning new limits
Making gains all the time
Spinning a positive from a negative
Training, tactics, and experience will get you through
Shooter sentenced to a total of nearly 15 years
