RE: Treestand stories.........
^^^^^EXACTLY!!! That's why I decided to share my story(s). Because she is training an awareness course, I just figured I would share my input. When the time comes that you "think" you know it all.....well, you don't. I know guys (deer hunters and various other hunters) that think they know it all but don't know anything at all. I know of a few personal experiences from hunting. I know of a few personal experiences but did not end in anything harmful, but another experience was a result of a friend of my father's that ended with a negative consequence (not deadly, but tragic at the same time......loss of one eye and parital hearing in one ear). I just hope that you all learn that safey comes FIRST!! Don't care what the circumstances are.......whether it's a world record buck or the biggest long tailed rooster you'll ever see!!! SAFETY is THE number 1 factor in hunting....which hopefully will ultimately will preserve it. Just teach them that safety comes first!! Then the tradition and values will come after! Good luck!
