Yup he was wearin one, I guess he went to rest on a tri cam and it pulled and sent him for a 20 footer.
The military was there that day training and they even had a litter for some of their stuff, so he lucked out in the way that they were able to get him out of there in half the time of a normal rescue would have taken.

That sounds really lucky. I know it takes us to get going when we get a call out for something like that.
