Bound to be a little more to it . Plenty of folks can trip over a chalk line drawn on a sidewalk .

Its a sad thing none the less .

RIP for the hunter. Condolences to his family. He most likely died at his favourite hobby. Shame though how things happen.

My HSS vest I thought was the best thing I could do for treestand safety, until I trusted a dam branch that broke and the strap on the vest tore completely and down I went 22 ft .. Thank God I walked away though...The season just got started and somebody died from falling already ... People use a safety line and stay hooked in until your feet are on the ground

Ouch! Guess it is a matter of time till the T.s.s.a. steps in and looks after tree stands like elevators, stuffed animals, gas regulation and everything else they convinced the government they need.

It bothers me to see these things happen. I'm 61 and not near the agility I had years ago. My ladder stand is down to 10ft. now maybe that is not near as high as it should be. I just don't trust myself to be any higher I wear a vest type safety harness and when it's wet or windy I head for the ground blind. I'm thinking of making the ground blind my only way to hunt. Sadly I hunt with a friend who will not use a safety harness I am on him every time we hunt to please put it on . When we don't hunt together I make him call me at dark. If he doesn't call or forgets I head out to where we hunt. I wish I knew how to make more of an impact on him to put the darn safety harness on I'm afraid some evening I'm going to find him on the ground.
