Hey Shootemup.....I know a few folks on here started getting on you already but I figure if we all chime in you may listen. If you own a harness and don't use it. START USING IT! If you don't own one go and buy one.

This story could have easily been an article in the paper about some poor hunter who never made it home from the woods because he failed to wear his harness. Too many things can happen and Murphy's law aint choosy.

To everyone reading this...WEAR YOUR HARNESS! If you're worried about noise, put it on before you get to your tree (that's what I do) My family and my life come first....deer fall in somewhere way behind.

Be safe all.

P.S.-Thanks Rattlem for sharing your story. Glad you're OK....sure beats the alternative huh?
