He missed a few survival precautions !! Forgot cell phone and didn't tell anyone where he was going ! www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,312736,00.html

Worse yet, he apparently was treestand hunting and not using a safety harness. That is like playing Russian Roulette.

More hunters are killed here by falling from tree stands that by gunshots.

I've even heard of hunters 'accidentally' shot from tree stands.

This is in my geographical area. I personally know someone who lost their father the same way. He found him that night after he failed to return home. That is why I hunt mostly on the ground and I do just as well. It is all in knowing what to do.

Yeah, that happens mostly when the hunter's see someone else in his tree stand.

I found it odd that the headline reads "Hunter Survives 4 Days in Woods With Broken Leg" then you start in on the story and find out that he had a broken back. . . You'd think the headline would say something about the broken back before the broken leg.
