yes Null...out of 6 that put me down, 2 were when someone was with me..first I sat in my car and told a fellow employee as he was going to his car, to at least tell the mechanics in the garage to check on me before he leaves...I figured if I passed out they would know why I was still there..and at that time I figured the pain would go away...but he just said...I have to get home....and left...so again I took care of things myself....and he was a medic in the Army..believe that?...Oh we sure had words after all that and he took a beating from the rest of the employees..the other time was when I made it out of the woods, sat in my truck and bam...so I had to do that self CPR till got 5 miles to my house..got out of truck, neighbor that hunts but never with me...stopped and talked to me.I told him I was having problems again..(6th heart attack)..and I said I have to go and I just hung onto the side of my truck and I couldn't even see cause things were gettin dark fast..as he said..Ok..and walked away...and he knows of all the prior attacks...believe me...there are those that go out of the way..and there are those that just don't know what to do or just don't want to get involved..anyhow..a quick note,..while back in my garage once a guy stopped in front of it..said he was there because he knew I have had all those heart things and figured I would know how to help him ...so I did..he is fine now..but he said glad I was still at my garage..and yes he was having a heart attack...so....Please..make sure you talk to who you are with..and teach them cpr if need be...or at least...when I hunt with others, we find a point back in the woods and there is where we gather before any of us leave the woods...and the problem might not be mine all the time...but once a game warden was at our vehicles trying to fine us for hunting late...but we got him in order real quick..I told him I might just turn around and go back into the woods and stay there all night...nothing can do ..long as not hunting and gun unloaded.....so ....fellow hunters out there...you BEST KNOW what your HUNTING HOURS are.and time to quit....that is what saved us...if not know quitting time...he could of written us up by just saying we were still hunting..oh he got in big trouble from the main warden over that..and some other crap he had pulled on others...they even moved him to another area..but....long story short....Learn to do things yourself because you probably will end up doing it yourself and if someone does help, you can thank them...and be happy..but if do yourself, not mad because you figured on doing it that way in the first place..lmao..words from my dad....and just like our sportsmen's club.....I come to find out. that ....WE...is ME...lol..when you get we should do this...we should do that at the club meetings....lmao..have a nice hunt season all.and be safe.
