Hunter crawls through wild for 4 days with broken leg

A hunter who crawled for days after breaking his leg in rugged central Idaho is recovering in a Boise hospital.

John Sain was tracking an elk alone in remote wilderness near McCall last week when his foot slipped between two logs and he fell. The accident broke both of the bones in Sain’s lower leg, leaving him badly injured and unable to walk.

“I honestly didn’t think I was going to make it out,” said Sain, a Darby, Montana, native who lives in Riverside, California.
