Bizarre Hunting Accident - Pumpjack - 12/14/18 11:22 PM
This is a bizarre event, but certainly not likely to happen very often or to any of us, but I thought I would share because so many of us hunt properties with pumpjacks. Even though they may look dormant, many are on a system such that the pumpjack may start up quite unexpectedly to the unwary hunter in its immediate vicinity. Even if not fenced off (and many are not), it is not wise to be in contact with, under, or very close to pumpjacks, never mind the oil/tar spillage residue that will cling to your shoes if you get too close.
In this case, to coyote hunters followed their chase dogs into a well area that a coyote had gone. What attempting to retrieve the dogs, the pumpjack started, killing one man and injuring the other.
