Get as Climber and never have to work about falling again.

Heres what you need to do...invest in a professionaly made ladderstand if thats what you prefer to hunt out of. Home made stands only last so long....Right now is time to be buying new equipment as stores are running sales on this years equipment to make room for the 2007 market.

Hes right, you can pick up a ladderstand right now for less money then it would take to buy the boards to build a new one.Much safer and you can move them around easier than a heavy wood one.

:([:'(][:'(]safety harnesses are for sissy:D:D:D:D:):):):D:)

not , the only time i wear one is in my climber:eek:[X(][>:][>:]:(

how much for the bow?

A real hunter can balance the stand while he's at full draw...

I say, put the stand up higher, tie the harness around your neck.

Oh, and don't bring a cell phone or tell anyone when or where you're hunting, or when you plan to return. Just good practice.

Good luck, have fun and be safe!

for what bow?

He ment your bow, You said you were quiting Hunting

Wooden stands are the worst possible stand to use. They will always fail in a matter of time. That tree sways with high winds and loosens everything. Like was said before get yourself a good ladder stand or hang on and use it.

Why does everyone feel the need to hammer this guy. He made a mistake and alot of you assumed he wasn't wearing a harness. We all make mistakes.

I agree Wheatley,and some of the replies are crass ,insensitive and "DUMB"too...Hopefully the originator of this post has learned something from this and will do things differently from now on.Some of us are a slow learn ;),falling from trees though,is notwhat you want to be practicingor learning on the fly.[:@]
