RE: Very sad.....This one hits a little TOO close.
I too have experienced 1st hand hunting accidents. I found my Brother-in-Law all busted up a few years back, and was there when he was Life Flighted out.
Sad!!!

We have had this conversation over and over again even just this last week here on HNI. It is really to bad that there are still those that don't wear harnesses. Not sure if they don't own one or think that nothing can happen to them but all it takes is 1 little slip and life as we know it is over. My prayers go out to his family.

I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to harnesses. Prayers sent.

My prayers go out to his family. Hate to admit it but i'm one of those guys who never thinks about falling from a tree, until last year .I use only lock-on's i have three of them in the woods 2 have climbing sticks and the one has screw in steps that one it my best stand anyways one morn i was starting to climb up the tree like a squirrel like i've alway done but this time half way up one of the steps broke, talking about seeing your life flash before your eyes will i pulled my self up to the next step but when i got up to my stand i put my harness on sat therebreaking out into a sweat and talking deep breaths. Now when i go up a tree i take my time making sure every step is solid. Oh and yes i was praying to god for saving my life yhat morn .
