todayNovember 7, 2017

A West Salem man was seriously injured after falling 19 feet  from a tree stand in Fond du Lac County.  Rescue personnel were called Monday afternoon  to the area between Bell School Road and Davis Road in the Town of Rosendale.  Forty five year old; Jason L. Wahoske from West Salem, was found near the edge of a soybean field and was flown by Flight for Life helicopter to Theda Clark Medical Center with serious injuries.  The investigation determined that the two cables holding up the seat of the deer stand snapped, causing Wahoske to fall approximately 19 feet to the ground.   Wahoske was able to contact a friend and the Fond du Lac County Dispatch Center to report the incident.  It does not appear Wahoske was wearing a safety harness.
