On 11/10/19 at about 10:43am the Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call of a hunter down with a possible broken leg in the White River Marsh west of Berlin.  Emergency Medical Responders were paged, as well as Sheriff’s Office staff and Department of Natural Resources staff.  A 40 year Omro male was located and subsequently transported by ambulance for treatment.  The male is expected to survive.
