Im going to copy and paste this guys posts so you guys can get the message over on this site as well.
This past Saturday my best friend of 38 yrs went bowhunting for his second time. I talked him in to the sport and he went and bought all new gear this year. He bought a climber and practiced with it a bunch in his yard. I helped him find a place to hunt by his house and he took the tests and got his license. I got a call this past Saturday from his girlfriend way past dark asking me to go check on him as he wasnt home or answering his phone. I was the only one who knew where he was hunting and took the 40 min. drive calling over and over the whole drive. I got to the parking area and found him dead in his truck.
He fell out of the tree,broke his neck and somehow made it to his truck before passing.
No safety harness........................................... ...........
The police come and I had to use my climber to go up and bring down his equipment.
We had him cremated this week and we too his ashes to a wonderful place and me and her let them fly in the wind..............
I love ya brother... wish it ended a little better.
I will say it again.... NO SAFETY HARNESS KILLED A WONDERFUL MAN!
