Ed Mongin, 81, of Coleman, Wis., was hunting with a group of 10 others on federal land Nov. 17 in Iron County, Mich., when the top of a tree fell and struck him on the head, causing severe injury.
The group of hunters, whose members were all from Wisconsin except one from Colorado, were familiar with the area and were using radios to stay in communication. When Mongin didn’t answer an attempt to contact him, the group went to his hunting location and found the fallen section of the tree on top of him, blown down in a windstorm.
