i dont...i dont go in a stand much cuz i dont like heights but when i do go up i dont use one...i think im gonna start tho. the one i have looks like a spider web and is annoying to put on.

I dont use one - never have - and I have taken a fall out of a stand...was climbing down so I dont think the normal "use while sitting in the stand" harness would have helped but one that comes down with you would ahve helped.

I always do!! It gives me peace of mind knowing I'm strapped in.

I always wear one. I would say with people I know a little over half of them wear one.

I have never used one. Hell I don't even think I know anyone that has ever used one...

Your message prompted me to check with the guys I hunt with. We are at 50% as well.

I really didn't know what to expect as far as a percentage.I was hoping that 50% was lower than normal but apparently 50% may be high overall.
I really have only ever hunted with 4 different guys. I'm the only one that does not use a tree stand but of the other 4 all use a harness.

Ha, I dont wear 1 all the time because its uncomfortable and I cant draw my bow with it on well. And I cant afford another better kind because the iPhone aint cheap to use.

I'd say it's 100% of the dumb ones! Too many people are killed or paralyzed each year from falling out of stands and I love my wife and kids too much to do that to them.

I wear one 100 percent of the time. I am not scared of many things, but being paralyzed is one of them.
