I have two choices as I see it. The first, going with Mobow(bored and stirring things up) or two, going with the originator of the post. It's a tough choice, but I'm going with the originator.... "Dumb".[8D] Perhaps you should use the off season time to learn how to install a stand.[&:]

Next, learn how to use your stand before you hunt out of it. Practiceabout 5 feet off the ground this offseason so you're ready for next year. Put some pillows out on the ground in case you fall out again.
Finally, you should expect to get your chops busted when you post something like this.

Sorry to hear about the fall. Glad you're ok. Double and triple check the security of your stand before hunting out of them. Slow down a little bit. You're 15 feet (or higher) in the air on a small platform. Good luck to ya... be safe.

RE: ok im dumb
That sucks. Another idea is practice shooting sitting down. It can be a real advantage sometimes. Oh yea and if you dont use ratchet straps on both the top and bottom at least drive a nail on each side of the bottom to keep it from moving side to side. Your lucky you havent been seriously hurt. Also if you ever use a climber make sure the platform and seat are connected with straps. I learned this the hard way....lol.

I think we need someone to make threads about how they love to bait, shoot deer on canned hunts, participate in deer drives, and ask us where to find the gutshot"monster" buck theyshotand all the other great things we like to talk about
