You speak from experience Mike A! Perhaps hunted the same spots from your U of Idaho days.

Hunted with a friend in HS who's dad kept a boat in Clarkston. On one trip (I wasn't along), one of his dad's friends did happen to fall off a ledge and needed to be medevac'd out! Sounded like he had some serious injuries.

In that instance a sling wouldn't have helped much, as I was told he was swinging on an over head chukar while standing on a narrow ledge and lost his footing.
