We are all concerned with staying safe and not geting hurt while hunting. Many use tree stands of various types to stand for deer. We've all heard it before - "There's 2 kinda stand hunters - those who have fallen and those who will." I hate that saying because if it bares true - I have a fall in my future.

So what can we do to eliminate or narrow the chances of a fall or injury occuring? (please use the quote feature button & number your tip)

1. Check the physical and mechanical condition of all parts of your stand before taking it afield. Make any repairs necessary.
