   A hunter was badly hurt after plunging from a tree stand and into the   
   marsh near a wildlife refuge in Maryland, authorities say. The 14-foot   
   fall left the man stranded in the “marshy terrain” and needing medical   
   help near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on Friday, Dec. 2, according   
   to a Maryland state police news release. Since he was in a remote region,   
   and due to the “severity” of his injuries, a state police helicopter was   
   requested to rescue him, the release said. With the helicopter on the way,   
   first responders administered medical care to the man on the ground. From   
   above, the helicopter sent a state trooper paramedic down to the injured   
   hunter to get him ready to be lifted from the marsh, according to police.   
   After the hunter was “packaged” and ready, he was hoisted 80 feet into the   
   air and taken to a nearby trauma center, police said. The injuries the man   
   suffered were not specified in the release.The Blackwater National   
   Wildlife Refuge is a waterfowl sanctuary where several bird species can be   
   spotted. It is about 100 miles southeast of Washington, D.C.
