Deer hunter falls on Hurricane Island

A deer hunter fell from a tree stand and apparently broke his leg Saturday afternoon while hunting on Hurricane Island on the Ohio River.

Rescue personnel and PHI Air Ambulance were called to the scene.

Saturday was the first day of a two-day muzzleloader deer hunt in Kentucky.

Hurricane Island is near Tolu. The hunter was on the northern end of the island when he was injured.
