A man who fell 14 feet to the ground from a deer stand late Saturday afternoon is continuing to undergo treatment at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont.

Jeff Simar, 59, of jasper, said that he was working on the roof of the deer stand when he fell off his ladder and broke his leg and his back. Simar will undergo back surgery on Thursday morning.

Simar said that he is very grateful to the firefighters, deputies, game wardens, and others who carried him out of the woods.
