The Good Lord was with you tonight my friend. Glad you are ok. You have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas. Brian

Now thats a Christmas present. Glad to hear your OK.

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Wow, That's a close call. You lucked out on that one

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Holy Smokes!!!!!! You ARE luck to be alive! Enjoy life and stay safe!

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

I am glad to hear you are ok. For the first time ever I used my climber without a harness hooked up to climb up the tree and I was very uneasy about that but I was in a hurry never again after seeing this. Thanks for sharing

Glad to hear you are ok!!:) I couldn't imagine falling 25 feet.:(

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Thank goodness you're alright! That will probably be a life long learning experience. Don't take anything for granted. Periodically inspect all of your hunting equiptment, especially stands and safety straps. Never unhook yourself until you are ready to climb down. Removing your safety harness is the last thing you do before you descende from your tree. Remember, you've got 50 - 60 or more years left of enjoying this sport!

Glad you're ok !
The Lord was with you, no doubt !
Be more careful from now on.
I'm sure, you will though.
Merry Christmas to you too !

RE: Lucky to be alive!!

Merry christmas:D

And I thought it was a Christmas Miracle when my car stereo magically started working again today.

Honestly two words. Christmas Miracle.

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Glad to hear that you beat the reaper!! Merry Christmas!!

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Glad to hear you are OK.

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Good lesson for us all, no matter what equipment can fail. Glad you are ok.

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Glad you made it!

It's probably a good thing you are 15, you bounce better at 15 than you do at 42:D

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

i'm so glad you're alright...

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Thats the best christmas present you could get!!!!!

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Lesson learned I hope. Don't unhook your safety harness until you're on the ground. Why did you have to unhook it to lower down your bow?

RE: Lucky to be alive!!
 

Jeeze, glad you are ok buddy. You lucked out on a fall like that.
