RE: broken mathews, almost fall to his death
here on stateland wheremost of us hunt,you cant use drill in steps.
those strap on steps are accident waiting to happen...
also the climbing stands are not what i feel i want to use in dark at 5 am..
stay with lock-on and tree climbing sticks or ladder stands..
i use nothing but ladder stands now and if i am after buck that is on move, RUT, i only use TREESUIT stand if i feel good that day..
i only use waist strap as i have been using it for 40 yrs and used to it and never had close call....
