ROCHESTER – A Bremen man was airlifted to a Fort Wayne hospital after a serious deer hunting accident.
Indiana conservation officers say 69-year-old Bill Hundt was hunting from an elevated tree stand and fell 16 feet to the ground.
It happened around 6 p.m. Tuesday in Fulton County.
The Department of Natural Resources says Hundt was unable to call for help due to the extent of his injuries. His wife contacted their son around 9 p.m. when Hundt failed to return home.
Hundt was taken to Rochester Woodlawn Hospital before being flown to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne with shoulder and back injuries.
