Happy New Year everyone!
I wanted to share some scary news. My Uncle Matt Pearle was hunting on Dec 23rd and fell from his tree stand from about 25' up. After inspecting the tree stand, it appears someone intentionally cut his supports straps almost completely through. As soon as he put all of his weight on it, it let go. He landed on his back, severely fracturing his spine and had to be air lifted to RI Hospital. He had surgery on Dec 28th to fuse 12" stainless rods to either side of his spine.
Matt has been an avid hunter and fisherman since long before I was born. He lives in Wareham. He's not a member of SB but I'm sure some of you from that area know him. He's a self employed carpenter and will be out of work for many months so we've set up a go fund me account to help out.
Thanks Guys and I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year. Looking forward to the spring and getting back into the game with the SB crew again.
