Default Hunter saftey is important be it bow or gun.

The local news paper came Wednesday.
Head lines!
Local 34 year old hunter dies in hunting accident.

He didn't return home Saturday night form hunting, Family and friends searched for him all night and called the sherrif in the morning. The search continued nearly all day Sunday. The hunter was found Sunday evening by fellow hunter friendswho had went north to hunt for the week end.

There was a stand in a near by tree about 30' up. There was no saftey harness on the hunter nor was there one in the tree near the stand.

He had died from enternal bleeding the sherrif told reporters although no atopsy had been preformed yet. He had several broken ribs and both legs were broke.

The sherrif stressed that if you are going to hunt from a tree stand invest in a safety harness. Remember that it only happens to the other guy,It is in the mind of some one else also, so that other guy can be you today.
