(Cass County, IN) - Following the deaths of two Indiana hunters died, another one was injured by shooting himself in the foot.

 

According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, a 36 year old Logansport man in Cass County was climbing down from a tree stand on Monday.

 

He was lowering the gun from the stand when it fired and sent a bullet into one of his feet, DNR said.  The hunter climbed the rest of the way down from the stand and called for help.

 

Earlier this month, Larry Sedwick, 53, of Cedar Lake fell from a tree stand in Starke County.  The next day, a 76-year-old southern Indiana man fell from a tree stand.

 

DNR said both of those victims were not wearing a full-body safety harness.
