Guys, I lost a hunting friend last Tuesday. He and his brother were hunting, using climbing stands on federal hunting land and he didn't get his cable fastened right and fell 30 feet to his death. It's so sad and such a loss. If only he would have used a hunter safety harness. He was 58 years old and from the old school that didn't like the harnesses. To binding and restrictive I guess.
Please, Please guys, use those live saving safety harnesses. It could be the difference of you ever hunting another day or not. Thanks for listening.
BBO
I do not hunt with crossbows but with bow and rifle, but it is a reminder to all of us!! I am also sorry to here about your friend as well..
Please send my condolences to his family and freinds as well..
Buddybo,that very sad thing to hear about. sad to know your friend passed on because he didn't pay attention to a little safety. our prayers are with his family
Not having a harness is no big deal until you fall. The happy hunting grounds might be a great place but I wish your friend had waited another 25 years before visiting. I will pray for your pal but the rest of you take notice.
I never feel as bad for the guy who died as I do for his family. He has moved on and they are left with the heart ache.Hard to imagine what his brother feels like.
