Thanks Cougar.
I have never been in a tree stand. Mostly because my family has asked me not to do it.
I appreciate that you took the time to give this info to people that do go out and hunt in tree stands
DannyD Do not be discouraged from using a hangon, ladder, or climbing tree stand. They are very safe when used correctly and hung correctly. Just learn to do it the right way, not as I have done.
