I can relate to that delemma. Down here in South Arkansas it is not as bad, because there is a lot of woods available to hunt in, but there are a whole lot of leases too. When I lost my lease about 6 years ago, I did not hunt for a few years , just because of the safety factor. But I found another lease 3 years ago and I hunt there now. But close to my lease last year a man was shot, WHILE HE WAS SITTING IN A TOWER STAND, by another hunter on a ridge above his stand. The hunter saw a deer and shot, but never saw the man in the tower.... GO FIGURE. So I guess nothing is 100 % SAFE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A FEW IDIOTS OUT THERE.

Be safe and good hunting

God Bless
