Hunter Takes Fatal Fall

{Rock Castle, West Virginia}...Authorities say 53 year old Mark Allen Metz of Milton was bow hunting in the Rock Castle area of Jackson County Saturday when he fell 18 feet from a tree stand. Hoy Murphy of the Division of Natural Resources says fatal falls from tree stands outnumber accidental shooting deaths during the hunting seasons. The DNR recommends hunters wear a harness while in trees.
