I want to thank all of you for your prayers and symphany.

This is hard for me to tell but bearhunter is right it might help someone.
It was my stand Ronald fell from I had no idea he was going to use it
that evening thats why it took so long to find him.
He had no safety belt with him. When I found him he was lying face down under the stand with his unfired gun beside him. It was a hang on stand and the seat was open like someone had sit in it. The pull up rope had not been used so if he did get in it he climbed with his gun in one hand, his gun did not have a sling.
They ruled it a hunting accident and did not do a autoposie so we can only guess what happened. The stand was only 10 or 12 feet high and very easy to get in.
He could have had a heart attack ( he was a heavy smoker and drinker
and 54 years old).
He could have went to sleep and fell in this case the safety belt would have saved him.
He could have slipped while climbing but I don't think so because he looked like he hit head first.
I believe myself that he had a heart attack.
