I had the ladder sections of my ladder stand come apart and fall when i was in the stand. I was up there with just the seat portion of my stand ratcheted to the tree. The ground became soggy after a few hard rains and it sagged enough to create seperation between the top ladder part and the seat. Talk about helpless.
I always wear safety harness's now. Your an IDIOT if you don't!!!!!!!
NO offence intended but only an idiot would be in a tree stand without a safety harness of some sort!!!!!!
I don't believe I'm an idiot!! I don't use a harnes. Maybe I should maybe I shouldn't. It's one more thing to take with me. It sorta restricts my movement. If I want to shed some clothing I have to take it all off and back on again. Pain in the butt to me so I don't use one. I hunt from ladder stands mostly and I can't fathom how you fall out of them.
