A 15-year-old deer hunter fell from a tree stand Saturday in Kosciusko County and sprained his leg and ankle, Indiana conservation officers said.
Clarence “Daven” Gasaway of Warsaw was in the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area hunting from a stand 24 feet off the ground.
Gasaway had just started to descend from his stand when part of it broke.
Not wearing a safety harness, he fell backward and became stuck upside down in the stand for 30 minutes.
