MN: YOUNG SE MINNESOTA HUNTER AIRLIFTED AFTER FALL FROM TREE STAND

A young hunter from Wabasha was airlifted from a Wisconsin property he was hunting at after he fell from his tree stand over the weekend.

The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were dispatched to the property east of Wabasha shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday. A news release indicates 16-year-old Garret Pavelka told first responders he fell about 20 feet after a limb he was holding while climbing into the stand broke off of the tree. The teen told dispatchers he was laying on a field edge on a ridgetop above his parked vehicle. He was airlifted from the scene by a Mayo helicopter with what were described as minor injuries, the news release says.
