man you guys aren't kidding that man should not be able to hunt the rest of his life no excuse for that when your 20 years old,I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I had done that to somebody. Sorry to hear about your friend sucks to hear things like this.I have not had any major accidents but have broke my ribs 2 times while in the field both times was from logs,the first time it happend I was coon hunting with my brother and i forgot my flash light tripped and broke two ribs but survived and the 2nd time I was duck hunting with an inch or 2 of ice on the ground and trees well I was trying to cross a log over a creek and I was scooting across the log next thing I know I slip off the log and hit another log in the creek busted 3 ribs luckily I hit that log or I would of been under some ice.I am not saying I was anywhere near death in any of these accidents but things like this can happen to anyone and I sure wasn't expecting it.I carry a phone at all times for things like this.
