COVINGTON -
Police say a 76-year-old hunter was on the ground injured for nearly 13 hours before being found in a rural area of western Indiana.

State conservation officers say Richard Hornaday of Covington suffered a leg injury on Monday when he fell almost 10 feet from a homemade tree stand in western Fountain County. Officers say Hornaday fell Monday morning and wasn't found by a relative until late evening.

Hornaday was flown by helicopter to a Champaign, Illinois, hospital for treatment. Officers say he wasn't wearing a safety harness when he fell from the tree stand.

Safety harness and cell phone or some communication devise, especially when hunting alone.

I wish the dnr had the funds to do psa's on local networks concerning this. It could be very effective if they showed xrays and interview those that learned the hard way.. maybe even throw in a pic of a coffin..
Trust me you can think your a tough guy and then you learn the ground is tougher than you!
