RE: % of hunters not using a harness
You know I am getting a pretty good laugh at this thread. I have already stated that I don't wear a harness. I have also read the comments about "thinning the herd" or just plain calling anyone that does not wear one an "idiot"....Well how should I put this...I'm 42 years old, married, 3 kids, 1 grand kid, a college degree from a major university, I'm a computer programmer, home owner, land owner, an IQ last measured at 142(although I do my best to hide it)....well you get the picture. I don't really think I fit the description of an idiot. I really think I am less likely to die from falling out of a tree then many on here are from a heart attack, stroke, cancer, or drunk driving. What I am saying is we all make decisions that will affect out life expectancy. For the most part I think I have made the right choices. I am 5 foot 6 and weigh 150 pounds. I walk at least 4 times a week and at least 3 miles each time. I also work out on my bow flex at least that often. I eat well and normally get 8 hours of sleep a night, I don't smoke and I don't drink. Now I personally think that being overweight, smoking, drinking, poor diet, etc.... will lead to an early grave long before not using an harness, but did I get on here and pass judgment on everyone else. Hell no. If you want to drink go ahead, if you want to smoke then light up and the flip side of this freedom of choice is I won't be using a harness. Its all about glass houses boys....
