Duck Dynasty’s Uncle Si Robertson was hospitalized recently after a hunting accident.

Friends and family admit they were scared to the point of saying prayers as Si was rushed to the emergency room.

During the latest episode of the Duck Call Room podcast, Justin Martin and Phillip McMillin explained Si fell getting out of a boat on a duck hunting trip. According to the story, Si declined treatment, but his oxygen levels fell once he got home.

“When he fell, he fell on his oxygen machine,” Martin said.

Once he was in the ER, Martin said, doctors did a full scan and found only bruised ribs.

The news comes less than a week after it was reported that “Duck Dynasty” is returning to A&E, eight years after the series finale.

The Duck Commander crew returns with “Duck Dynasty: The Revival.”

TVLine.com reports that A&E has signed on for two seasons and 20 episodes. According to the report, the new series is set to begin this summer and will feature Willie and Korie Robertson, their children and grandchildren, in Louisiana.
