A 57-year-old man shot himself in the toe, leg, testicle and abdomen when his rifle fell from a tree stand and discharged. The accident happened Wednesday in Green Lake County Wisconsin. ♂ ouch.

Not so weird, sad though...........I know a Bowhunter that fell 15 feet out of a tree stand and impaled himself on 5 broadhead arrows in his bow quiver. He is no longer a "functioning male", lost 50% of his stomach,7 subsequent surgeries and has an Ostomy bag for the rest of his life........32 years old....Tragic, but a fact of life that hunting safety is more than just causually important, and should be taken seriously.......hardly "joke" material either

hi there
not so weird, tree stand accidents are the most common accidents of hunting season,manly because there are to many safety issues at 15 feet in the air standing on an 18 inch area.

Morons shouldn't be allowed to have guns. Like most of the hunters here in Maine. every year some one dies because of a hunting accident. There should be a rule that you have to be smarter than the animal that you are hunting.

I'd nominate that. It's pretty freaky.
Any idea what rifle it was?
He shoulda had a Savage with the Accu-trigger.
