Minnesota Hunting Seasons

Kittson, Roseau & Marshall Counties | Resident Guide 21

All hunters should consider taking an advanced hunter education class to learn the latest hunting tech-niques along with tips on coming home alive.

Here are five suggestions for a safe and successful hunting experience:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Get a detailed map of the area you are hunting, review it before you leave, and carry it with you in the field.Carry a compass and know how to use it. Decide ahead of time the direction to head for if you get lost or disoriented.Weather can change quickly in Minnesota, so hunt-ers should carry a simple survival kit and be pre-pared for an unexpected overnight stay in the field. The survival kit should contain a rope, a knife, water, waterproof matches, an emergency shelter, and first aid supplies.If you are on the water, make sure to wear a personal flotation device (life preserver). Know your hunting partners’ physical and emotion-al limitations, as well as your own, and don’t push your partners or yourself beyond those limits.

Do not consume alcohol or take drugs prior to or during your snowmobile trip. Doing so increases your chances of injury or death.

Slow down and don’t cut to the inside of the trail cor-ners. It’s dangerous and illegal.

If you snowmobile at night, don’t override your lights.

Always use the buddy system. Never ride off alone.

Drowning is one of the causes of many snowmobile fa-talities. Whenever possible, avoid the ice.

Wear sensible, protective clothing designed for operat-ing a snowmobile.

Use a full size helmet, goggles, or visor to prevent inju-ries from twigs, stones, ice chips and other debris.

Avoid wearing long scarves. They may get caught in moving parts of the snowmobile.

Know the terrain you are going to ride. If unfamiliar to you, ask someone who has traveled over it before.

Know the weather forecast, especially the ice and snow conditions.

Be sure your snowmobile is in top-notch mechanical condition throughout the months of use.

Familiarize yourself with the snowmobile you are driv-ing. Thoroughly read the manual that accompanies the snowmobile.

Do not pursue domestic or wild animals. That is not the conduct of a sportsman. Report such violations to the nearest law enforcement officer.

FIRST AID FOR CPR & HEART ATTACKCPRCPR is to be administered when a person is not breathing or has no pulse. Be quick to act by remembering the A,B,C’s: Airway, Breathing & Circulation.

Airway: Place the person on a firm surface, on their back. Kneel next to the person’s neck and shoulders. Open the person’s airway by tilting back the head and lifting the chin.

Breathing: With the head tilted and chin lifted, pinch the nostrils shut and cover the person’s mouth with yours. Give two slow breaths.

Circulation: Find the hand position on the center of the breastbone. Place the heel of your hand on that posi-tion, with your other hand on top of the first hand. Use your upper body weight to push down. Give two compressions per second. Compress the chest at a rate equal to 100/minute. Perform 30 compressions at this rate. Repeat until an ambulance arrives.

HEART ATTACKSymptoms of a heart attack may include any of the following:• Uncomfortable pressure, fullness or squeezing pain in the center of the chest.• Expanded pain in the upper abdomen.• Shortness of breath.• Pain or numbness in either arms, shoulders, neck, jaw or teeth.• Dizziness or fainting.• Nausea and sweating.

If you or someone else may be having a heart attack - follow these steps immediately:• DIAL 911• Chew and swallow Aspirin (unless you are allergic/not allowed to)• Take Nitroglycerin (only if prescribed)• Begin CPR if the person is unconscious

IN AN EMERGENCY, DIAL 911

FIRST AID FOR BURNS & CHOKINGBURNSFor minor 1st and 2nd degree burns smaller than 3” in diameter: Cool the Burn. Run cool water over the burned area for 5 minutes, or until the pain diminishes. Never put ice on a burn!

Bandage the burn with sterile gauze: It is important to use loosely wrapped gauze. This will avoid pressure and the bandage protects blisters. NEVER put lotions, vaseline, ointments or butter on burn. Do not break any blisters, which can cause infection.

Take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen or Acetominophen to relieve pain: Minor burns usually heal with these basic treatments. Be aware for signs of infection which may include: increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If symptoms develop, seek medical help. Avoid tanning the burned area for at least a year. Protect the area with sunscreen outdoors. Avoid giving aspirin to children.

For 3rd degree burns/all major burns - DIAL 911DO NOT run cold water over large severe burns - this can cause shock.DO NOT remove burnt clothing.Check for signs of breathing/coughing/movement.If there are no signs of breathing begin CPR.Elevate burned areas above heart level, if possible.Cover the burn(s) with cool, sterile, moist bandages, towels or cloth.

CHOKINGMost people clutch at their throats when choking, an obvious symbol for help. However, if a per-son isn’t giving that signal, be alert for these indications. Inability to talk, difficulty breathing or noisy breathing, inability to cough forcefully, skin/lips/nails turning blue, loss of consciousness.

The Red Cross recommends a “five-and-five” method for first aid: First give five blows between the person’s shoulders with the heel of your hand. Second, perform the Heimlich maneuver (ab-dominal thrusts) five times. Alternate between five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.

IN AN EMERGENCY, DIAL 911

FIRST AID FOR INSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXIS & POISON SAFETYINSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXISAnaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction from insect bites (latex, food and drug aller-gies can also cause Anaphylaxis). Typical symptoms include hives, the swelling of lips or eyes, swollen throat, drop in blood pressure, light headedness, confusion, nausea or diarrhea. If someone is having an allergic reaction from an insect bite with these symptoms:

CALL 911. Administer emergency prescription medication. See if the person is carrying special emer-gency allergy medicine and give it to them according to the directions.Loosen tight clothing.Lay the person down. The person should lay down on their back with feet elevated. Turn them on their side if they are vomiting or bleeding from their mouth to prevent them from choking.If they are not breathing - administer CPR. Most insect bite reactions are mild and cause no allergic reaction. If stung by a bee, use a straight edged object, like a credit card, to scrape away the stinger. Don’t use tweezers - they can pinch more venom out of the stinger. Apply an ice pack to the area and take an over the counter pain reliever.

POISON PREVENTIONTeach your children about poison and how it can look like a food or drink. They should always ask an adult before eating or drinking anything. Have them learn the poison control phone number: 1-800-222-1222 and keep it programmed or posted near all your phones. Here are some prevention tips.Lock up your poisons and medications. Keep them out of the reach of children, lock them up if possible. Make sure your children understand that medicine is not candy.Follow directions carefully. Read your labels. Be sure to use and store all poisons and medica-tions properly according to recommendations.Keep your pets safe from household chemicals, too. Don’t allow pets near areas that have just been cleaned with chemicals, such as freshly mopped floors or bleached bathtubs and sinks. Clean up any antifreeze/coolant spills. Pets like the flavor but they can die if they ingest it. Store poisonous foods or plants in areas that your pets cannot access. Call your local emergency veteri-nary hospital if you believe your pet has been poisoned.

PARENTS:Teach your kids that an emergency is when you need help from a doctor, a police officer or a firefighter.

Designate a safe place by your house that a child can go to if they need help right away.

Have your kids memorize your address and phone numbers. They should also know your full name and where you work.

KIDS:FIRE SAFETYIf you or someone else is on fire - remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL. Wrap a blanket on the person to help put out the fire.

If there is a fire, leave the house as fast as you can! Crawl on the floor to avoid smoke and if the door is hot, don’t open it - find another way out.

Learn all the fire exits in your house. Assign a safe place outside for everyone to meet in case of a fire emergency.

HOME ALONENever tell anyone that you are home alone.

If someone calls and ask for your mom and dad, tell them “They cannot come to the phone right now, can you please call back later?”

Do not answer the door, unless it is someone that you know your parents have okay‘d them to come over.
