trees falling
NN,
I've never had a tree fall while I was in it, but several years back I went to my lock on stand and a tree had fallen over and across my stand. That stand was destroyed, don't even want to think what the outcome would have been had it happened while I was in the stand.
A similar thing happened 2 years ago. I had put up a blind to turkey hunt out of. When I went to the blind the next morning, a tree limb about 4 inches in diameter had fallen thru the top of the blind and it was standing up in my chair. Had I been in that chair I'm sure I would have been seriously hurt.
Now days when I put up a deer stand or blind, I always do it in the daylight and look around for dead trees or hanging limbs.
