Went out one afternoon about 1:30 pm, before I left the house I checked the weather,
slight chance of rain with winds of 10-15 mph no big deal. About 2:30 it starts to rain
and the wind picks up not to bad. About 2:45 it starts pouring huge drops and really hard,
the winds about 35 mph now.No rain gear on dont have anything decent thats quite, by
this time Im hanging onto the side of my stand for dear life, Im so wet that the water is soaking through my wallet, the tree is swaying back and fort about 2 ft each direction, I cant see the deer trail 15 yrds away its raining so hard. Finally the light bulb comes on
and I decided to get the hell out of there, lower my bow, back pack, undo my saftey harness start to climb down first step fine going for second step grab for the pull myself into my stand step instead I grabbed a 1 inch branch that gave way falling toward the ground I managed to twist around in the air landing on all fours. I landed on top of a log
hit my fore head on log { goose egg} right foot landed on the log jamed my toes bad,
had rubbetr boots on. I got up took a step and buckeld right now, thought my foot was broken for sure, any I set there for 5 min still pouring out and windy. The only thing I
could think about is its going to be a long crawl across that 300 yrd plowed field back to the truck. I finally got up and I could barely limb on my foot, I made it back to the truck
after about a hour ussually takes 10 min. Toes and half my foot were deep purple the next day and couldnt walk on it. missed three days of work. The fall was 20 ft.
