Hello every body,
I am new here but I thought I might share this story. About 3 weeks ago a Freind of mines son went out on a saturday morning to do some work on his box stand. He left on the 4-wheeler with a bucket full of tools, saftey harness and a 22. pistol (plenty of snakes down here) After a few hrs he did not come home, so his dad went to go get him. Sadly he found his son lying on the ground, his saftey harness still on the four wheeler. John Paul Thibideaux died at the age of 14 as a result of falling from a treestand that was just 8 ft high......Man that will wake you up!!! Please, wear your harness, someone at home is waiting for you to come back. Set an example for the future generation of hunters, trust me they pay attention. I once for got my harness on a hunting trip a couple hrs from home, my son had his, I told him "Ill be ok" he said "wal-mart has em and there open 24-hrs a day."......from the mouth of an 8 year old!!!!! needless to say I went and bought one.
