I'm hunting in St. Francisville, LA with a buddy of mine and his buddy, Adam Strait, whose owns the land. We all went out this morning but Adam never made it back to camp. Apparently it's not out of the ordinary for him to sit all day and not text to let anybody know. Well around 12:30 he texted us, "help, my health, help help". We called and nothing. He was hunting a new set that nobody knew the exact location of except that he had to head out earlier than us this morning because it was a long walk to this new set. He has been chasing a really good buck and thought he had finally found the perfect spot to get him. Anyways, my buddy Mike headed out in the four wheeler to begin the search and I called 911 and waited for EMS to take them back to vicinity we thought he would be in. We found him around 2 pm on the ground nowhere near a stand and in really bad shape. He was barely breathing, bloated, swollen, both eyes swollen shut and in dire need of immediate medical attention. He couldn't speak or tell us what happened. We got him in the ambulance and to a local hospital where he has been stabilized and awaiting life flight to Baton Rouge to a trauma center. The local doctor said Adam told him fell out of his set around 6 am this morning and was knocked out for who knows how long. As I said before, he didn't text us for help until 12:30. The extent of his injuries are not known at this time. But they are far more serious than this hospital can handle.
We are headed to Baton Rouge hospital and would ask you all to pray for our friend and fellow bow hunter.
Thank you friends!
