Dan H Report post Posted December 15, 2006 I think it was Bowsniper that fell from a stand 1-2 years ago. He sure took a monster buck with his bow also. Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowsniper Report post Posted December 15, 2006 Yeah, I had a fall in August last year. I was leaning back on a lineman "saftey" harness and it disengaged. I fell 25 feet and dislocated and busted up my wrist. I was very lucky that was all. Mike, you are in my prayers. The injury is bad enough, but I know how frustrating it is to have to sit out the season. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COUESAZ Report post Posted December 16, 2006 I talked to Mikes uncle Ken today and he said he has not been to see him yet because mike does not want to see anyone. I guess they can not give him Pain meds right now and he is in lots of pain and not a very hapy hunter at this point and time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted December 16, 2006 "I guess it is a more common occurence than what you think." It is very common all across the USA. I had a friend break his neck and die about 20 years ago in Florida. Two years ago, two friends were seriously injured in Pennsylvania when a commercial stand collapsed as one of them was climbing it. He fell on the other guy, who was steadying the thing. The climber broke a leg, the stand holder suffered a broken back and still has pain. Just last year, someone I'd met on a deer hunt in Michigan fell off his stand in Texas and broke an arm while trying to strap on his harness. I hope Mike has a speedy and complete recovery, without complications. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
