MI: Bow Hunter Injures Back and Head in Isabella County Fall

Bow Hunter Injures Back and Head in Isabella County Fall 

10/5/2009

A bow hunter unable to walk when he fell from his tree in Isabella County managed to use his cell phone to call for help.

The hunting accident happened Sunday night just before 7:30 near Millbrook Road in Union Township.

Deputies say Cory Zielinski of Saginaw fell from his tree stand and hurt his head and back and couldn't walk. Zielinski called for help and his hunting companion found him and he was taken to the hospital. He was not wearing a safety harness.

The Isabella County Sheriff urges bow hunters to use a safety harness. He says by using the proper equipment, these types of accidents can be avoided.
