Default Reminder

Been a long time since I've been on the site but with recent events I wanted to post a reminder. The deer season is only 4 days old and we've had 2 deaths one in Harford and one in Cecil County MD by falls from a tree stand, ( Not wearing safety harness ) PLEASE!!!!! wear your safety gear.

Stay safe

Good call Charlie. I fell last year, thankfully I only ended up with tree rash on my ass but it was a remoinder how fast things can change.

Thanks for the reminder of how life can be changed in an instance.
I know there are times when I'm in my climber that I don't feel like putting it on because I'm wrapped around by the stand but if a link in the chain broke, it would be all over.
I hope we don't have to hear about any more this year.
