Default RE: % of hunters not using a harness

ORIGINAL: TX_Hoghunter

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....

Easy there cowboy! Don't get offended because others are practicing their freedom of speech rights. If the "idiot" term pi**ed you off, maybe the shoe fits a little to comfortably!

I personally feelits important that we try and encourage others to make intelligent safety decisions because in my line of work, I am put in the position daily of trying to save the life of those who give a rats arse about being safe. Sorry, hits a little close to home for me. Put all that intelligence you supposedly have to work for you and wear a safety harness. Your family will thank you for it!
