HA HA when i first started Bow hunting, i did this. i got my stand set up and my anchor screwed into the tree... then i attached it to my climbing harnes... and said this isnt so bad, then proceded to JUMP out of my stand.... dumb... i had enough rope.. and i cam right back at the tree NOT expecting that i smashed into the tree. thought i sprained my ancle but really only bruised it. but at least im comfortable with it now.. i know if im gonna fall its not gonna be far!

i think i was still in tat stage you have to test out everything.. even the rules of gravity... as if they didnt aply to ME!
