....how many more times must it be stressed for those that hunt from an elevated perch..."stay connected from the time your feet leave the ground UNTIL the time your feet touch back down after the hunt is completed!"
....I come across way to many tree stand hunters who boast about not using any kind of restraint system because it is too cumbersome...really, you must be kidding...real men use a restraint harness because they love their families!!!
....prayers and thoughts go out for his family...at 45 years old most likely there are children involved and the thought of them being fatherless hits home....

Re: Tree stand death
Horrible news, safety has to always be the top priority! If you don't do it for yourself, do it for your family please.
It’s not the way you rock, it’s the way that you roll!

Re: Tree stand death
was it a climbing tree stand or a ladder type...there has to be a big difference in safety...also a big difference if you stand or sit to shoot.....norm

Re: Tree stand death
i must admit when i was younger and more agile there was no such thing as safety gear. i'm lucky/was . . .and sometimes lady luck jus walks away. and as iv'e got older i like the comfort of a ground blind.
my thoughts go out to the family and friends.

Re: Tree stand death
Ladder stands are a bit more difficult to use a harness when climbing, but there are methods that can be used.
I gotta admit that I don't use a harness when climbing up or down, but attach it as soon as I get into my stand.
Prayers being offered for family.

Re: Tree stand death
Ladder stands are the easiest to use a safety vest and 30' lifeline. Your attached to the tree going up and down. How much safer can they make it?

Most hunters won't spend the extra money to be safe. One guy I hunt with won't wear a vest!
