Guy in peaches with broken leg.
« on: October 10, 2015, 08:21:14 PM »
Anyone know the guy who shot the 6x6 in peaches that broke his leg trying to pack it out. My cousin found him for search and rescue and got a fire built for him to keep him warm till help could arrive to get him out.

Yikes.  We are all one step away from breaking a leg and needing help out.

The guy was from gleed. Recognize his face from the picture I was shown. Hirshey's crew helped pack him off of the hill.

He shot a nice bull. They only took the head. Meat was spoiled.

Copy that's good. My cousin was up there scouting for his tag and heard word and him and his buddies found him in dark early this morn. Got a fire going for him and sent help to find people to get him out. Hope the guy is ok.

Wow, Hirshey to the rescue, again?  That girl continues to amaze.

 :yeah:  that's it, since the young bucks can't do it, I'll take one for the team and get a divorce and marry that poor girl looking for love.

There was a guy up there the day before archery season that had a broken leg from being kicked by his own horse. My buddy used his satellite phone to call in the coordinates.

The most common injuries are broken feet/ankles/arms, fingers being cut-off, falls, and livestock accidents(a hunter got kicked in the face by his horse today). Of course you have the heart attacks and strokes that are common as well.

Usually the hunting seasons when the snow flies are the worst. There seems to be more calls when the snow is on the ground. Lots more vehicle accidents, falls, and lost people.

I have helispots marked on my personal hunting map and gps incase I get lost. You just never know when you need to call in for a medivac.

I have twisted my leg bad while hiking out a Muley buck.  Luckily It was only a 600 yards straight down to the road.  I was really close to breaking it as I heard a lot of popping going on as my boot almost touched my ear.

I hope the story gets posted.  To lay next to the bull you killed w a broken leg and watch it spoil would be a bad deal.
