Local Hunter Airlifted to Baystate After Fall From Tree Stand
A 68-year old-man fell from a tree stand yesterday afternoon while hunting in West Stockbridge resulting in his rescue and transfer to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield.
The man, who has not been identified at this time, was thankfully hunting with someone else who called 911 at 2:53 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The Berkshire Eagle reports the man was apparently paralyzed after falling from a tree stand as he tried to remove it from a tree. The stand is a platform that secures to trees in order to elevate the hunter and give them a better vantage point.
