Hey guys - been a while since in the forums and saw this post. Be careful out there this weekend. 10/5/12 I had a fall when getting into a climber stand up in the tree for the first time and didn't know what I was doing. Yes, that was stupid, but the hospital had several other stupid folks like me that had falls as well. I, and my family, paid for my mistake and only by the grace of God have I recovered pretty well - but it'll be with me forever. I had a burst fracture of L3 and spinal cord injury etc etc and by grace was able to walk again and get back to work to feed my family. I did take a deer during muzzleloader later that year, but just a personal note to you all in stands to please be careful (it's our opening weekend). Good hunting!
