A former college football player who barely survived a hunting accident says he’s recovering and plans to hunt again.

Matt Branch, friends, and relatives were hunting in Baton Rouge in December 2018 when he laid his gun on the bed of a truck. A Labrador retriever that saw the group getting ready to head out jumped into the bed and stepped on the safety of the gun before pulling the trigger.
