Hunter found stuck upside down when his tree stand malfunctions, MA officials say
A hunter was rescued after officials found him dangling upside down from a tree in Massachusetts.
Sudbury police officers say a hunter called 911 the morning of Thursday, Nov. 10, to report a tree stand malfunction in the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge that left him stuck in a tree.
Using the phone coordinates from the 911 call, police and fire personnel used their drone unit and utility vehicle to locate the stranded man, a news release from the department said.
After about 15 minutes, officials located the hunter. He was suspended about three to four feet in the air.
Officials say the hunter was uninjured and brought down from the tree safely.
The wildlife refuge is about 25 miles west of Boston.
