You've fallen once before and still haven't started using a harness?

What is it that Forrest Gump said?

"Stupid is as stupid does."

go get a harness before you get seriously hurt. you need to be more careful hunting. whats next a broad head mishap ?

He doesn't have to get a harness. Its all about survival of the fittest and cleaning up the gene pool! On a more serious note, WEAR A HARNESS. YES YOU ARE DUMB! If you fell once and didn't start wearing one you are not dumb you are an IDIOT!

If your that ignorant about stand hunting, not using a harness etc, you may want to do us all a favor and just stop hunting. It's obvious you and weaponry are not a good combination for the rest of us.

Perhaps you should explore the concept of becoming proficient at GROUND hunting. [&:]

Actually he never even said he fell clear to the ground.You can have a harness on and still fall out of a treestand, but its good to see everyone making helpfull suggestions to avoid future falls:eek:

What is your age and years of experience bowhunting?

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.[&:]

Kamil 12-17-2006 02:32 PM

RE: ok im dumb
 
thats why when u secure a stand you're suppose to use ratchet straps

First of all, how about using some punctuation so we don't get headaches reading your post.

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.

NY Bowhunter 12-17-2006 02:51 PM

RE: ok im dumb
 
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.

BUCKSdigME 12-17-2006 03:10 PM

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.

it was a wooden ladder stand this guy built for me on the farm because i let him hunt out of a farm an my buddie hunt out of an i have been bow hunting for some years now an only fell once besides this one he has it lagged bolted in the tree instead of nailed so i dont know if the lag bolt is loose or broke im not to sure but when i stood up to draw on a deer i went over it has no rails or side boards it on for bow hunting an the bottom of the boards kicked out and i hit my face on the base of the platform im not to sure why it gave out

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

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.

how much for the bow?

Monsterhunter0021 12-19-2006 12:39 PM

RE: ok im dumb
 
for what bow?

Killer_Primate 12-19-2006 02:05 PM

RE: ok im dumb
 
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!

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.[:@]
