any further update on that story? he died right? 1st I've heard of this season and another reason to wear your safety harness at all x's. bay news 9 did not say much about it.
See the FWC officer thread
Re tree stand safety harness I have one but I stoped using it and heres why #1 I find them cumbersome and in the way especially bow hunting #2 I hunt facing away from the tree and if something should happen to my stand I would left hanging with my back to the tree and 79 years old
I,m not strong enough to turn around and clutch thetree and hanging there I would soon be unconsious
the crucifex (sic) effect I use good equiptment and select good trees and simply put I dont worry about it incidently I have been using climbers since the days of the baker stands and never had a close call I truely believe that most stand accidents are the results of dumb carlessness
this jjust my take on the subject

The decision lies in your hands(and your families) whether to wear a harness or not. I will be 39 in a few days, and have been hunting since I was 4. I have had my fair share of close calls. I am a bow hunter also. And I find a harness to be neither cumbersome nor in the way
Welcome to the forums, and God bless you if you fall
I just picked up a new harness. i like-ed the eyes of my old but it was tearing. I picked up one that snaps together or latches however you like to say it. fast to get in and if you set it right facing away from the tree myself it should leave you around knelling height of your platform.
I will be selfish and say i do not want to find some ones dead or dieing azz in in the woods.
