A 59-year-old man was rescued after he suffered a hip injury while hunting near the Bobcat trail on Cedar Mountain in Clarksville, N.H. Friday morning, according to state officials.
Bruce Guillemette of Deerfield, N.H., was hunting when he was injured at about 9:15 p.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game said in a statement. He was able to call his hunting companion and 911 and told rescuers that he had twisted the wrong way and was unable to walk.
Pittsburgh firefighters gathered at the intersection of Deadwater Loop Road and Bobcat Trail with other emergency responders, including the Beecher Falls Volunteer Fire Department, 45th Parallel EMS at about 10:15 a.m., the statement said.
They used off-road vehicles to get within a half mile of Guillemette.
Rescue crews reached him at about 12:15 p.m. and placed him in a litter and carried him a half mile back to the off highway recreational vehicles, the statement said.
He was taken to a staging location and then to the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook to be evaluated for his injuries.
“Guillemette and his hunting companion were both very experienced hunters and were well equipped for the days hunt in freezing temperatures,” the statement said.
