Paralyzed Hunter Returns To Hunting

This will be the first time in fifteen years that Tammy Millikan won’t be able to go out for the opening day of hunting season. She was paralyzed when she fall from a tree stand in July. Millikan and her husband were at their cabin near Oscoda when this terrible accident occurred. She had spied some camouflage netting in an abandoned tree stand and decided to climb up and retrieve it. She was 20 feet above the ground when the last rung came off in her hands and she fell. The 20 foot fall broke her back. She was flown to St. Mary’s of Michigan Hospital in Saginaw.

However, this did not stop Tammy Millikan. She went out for the special handicap hunt in October. There, she was able to bag a spike horn deer. This was a big accomplishment for Millikan and helped to show her that there is still a light at the end of the tunnel.
