[QUOTE="Gobble4me757, post: 5279928, member: 22545"] I was turkey hunting some public back in bama with my buddy. He had found this spot with birds days before, and we hit it that am. At daybreak, we had one hammering over the clear cut we were in in a drain over the first gas pad not 100 yards from our trucks. We ran down the road to try to think about the best approach to him. I decided that we needed to scale the cliff to get a good vantage point on him. I'm pretty athletic and have climbed plenty of times in the woods, so I thought no big deal here. I was about 10 ft up using the tree and cliff to shimmy up the side of it when my foot flat out missed the tree. I realized I was falling on my back straight down to the ground. By the grace of God, I fell right in between the split of the tree after the 10 ft fall which caught me from falling another 5-7 ft on big rocks as the cliff was on a hill when I first started climbing. My gun went flying, and I was left with two big bruises on either side of my lower back. I look back and thank the good Lord for not letting me fall all the way. No telling how injured I would have been. [/QUOTE]
