Firefighter Upside Down during Hunt
Firefighters find themselves in the weirdest situations (from the Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle via FireFightingNews.com).
Montgomery County deer hunter Nickoles Rhodes, 21, is lucky to be alive and glad to be home after hanging by one foot from a broken tree stand for 90 minutes while 45 feet up a tree Sunday evening.Rhodes shot a doe from his perch off Smith Branch Road in Montgomery County around 5:15 p.m. Sunday. The tree stand gave way while he was maneuvering it down the cherry tree.
...
Rhodes, a Woodlawn volunteer firefighter, said his right boot toe caught in the strap.
"Otherwise I'd have fallen right on my head and wouldn't be talking to you right now," he said.
I've heard some pretty good hunting stories, but this is in a class by itself. Best wishes to Firefighter Rhodes on his recovery.
