being in a hurry and not using the harness is what i am seeing a lot.

HURRY part is no.1 from what i see even tho if they had their harness on, they would be fine, we hope.

you would not believe hunters that RUN to get ahead of me each year with their SUMMIT STANDS on their back.

out of all those hunters, i believe they got 2 deer in last 4 years.

guys with the ladderstands who had the up early in month, my book showed they got 7 deer in 4 years.

so, i believe these RUNNERSout of ahead of me,dont stay put and make noise while going up tree in dark.

thats all in takes to chase a deer away.
