Yeah, a lot of hunters seem to have a false sense of security with ladder stands, I'm not sure what it is exactly... I believe Andy on this very team had an incident with his strap breaking on his ladder when he was in it and luckily had his harness on (think it was you Andy?)... I also have a friend around here that fell out of a ladder stand recently (the ladder flexed weird - he had an extension on it)... He got lucky and only sprained his ankle and dislocated 2 of his toes - but could have been a lot worse...
Congrats again
On another note - hunted tonight again so that's like 7 days straight - not a damn thing.... So I'm not sure what's going on... Hopefully the front this weekend will really kick things in....
