RE: broken mathews, almost fall to his death
I remeber back about 5 yrs ago a guy fell out of his tree stand 25' he fell about 8:00 am or so the local GW drove by seen the truck at 6:30am drove by on his way home that afternoon .The trk was still there in the same spot he felt the hood then reached under to check the exhaust system for heat it was stone cold.So he grabbed his radio,cell and first aid and did a foot patrol .He found the guy sitting at the bottom of his tree leg broke in 3 spots he was just starting a fire the hunter changed locations and had no cell it was almost 14 hrs before he was carried out by the fire dept and it had snowed for the 3hrsthat day. He said he,ll never go up with out a harness or cell if needed.
