Tragic accident

[biggest buck]

Yesterday a friend of my sons was hunting out of a treestand and apparently fell and sadly passed away from the injury. Dont know too many details as of yet. The kid was only 20 or 21 years old. What a sad and aweful thing for this family.

Its always terrible to hear about accidents like this. My condolences go out to his family.

Prayers sent to the family. Such a sad thing to hear.

Did this happen west of Moorhead? I had a landowner hunt call me to see if I was hunting on their property and they were very relieved when I answered my phone. Terrible tragedy!

Man I hate to hear that. Makes me sick to my stomach. Prayers sent.

Apparently it was dads birthday and was the second child he's lost on his birthday.

Wow, that's traggic. I'll keep the family in my prayers. I can't imagine carrying a brother/son/dad out of the woods dead... gives me chills imagining that

Yeah. I'm fighting off tears just thinking of it. The comments to the article are unfathomable. Prayers and condolences to the family.

Very unfortunate...my condolences....was Corey related to the custers that run the outfitting business up in that area ?

Ya those comments make me wish I could get at their throats thru the computer screen.

Sad deal. Why still in treestand at 7:00 pm?

Prayers to the family, kind of surreal to think he was probably just a few miles from me several mornings and evenings this fall as I hunted within a few miles of Moorhead this past fall.

Sad deal. Why still in treestand at 7:00 pm?

I would say that's probably some kind of guesstimation from police report or something and I highly doubt it's accurate. That's sad stuff, oh my. Prayers to the fam and that's just horrible stuff.
