The incident happened in Jennings County on Saturday evening.
(Jennings County, Ind.) – A deer hunter suffered a serious injury after falling from a tree stand in Jennings County.
Indiana Conservation Officers were dispatched to the 9000 block of North County Road 125 East on Saturday evening after a hunter fell approximately 14 feet from an elevated tree stand.
An initial investigation revealed that ropes securing the saddle type tree stand became loose causing John Conner to fall to the ground.
Conner, 39, of Bristol, Vermont, was airlifted to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis in a serious back injury.
Indiana Conservation Officers encourage all hunters from an elevated position to utilize a safety harness and lifelines, and to check all tree stands and straps prior to climbing.
