% of hunters not using a harness
Was out on the urban hunt this weekend. While waiting for the parkgates to open at 5:30 i was speaking with5 otherhunters. 4 were going to be using tree stands and 2 (myself included) were using ground blinds.
Of the 4 using tree stands 2 were going to use no safety harness at all. Thats' 50%. Do you think that is a representative % of people who use safety harnesses?

I would say it's more like 5% that do where 1 around here. In fact, out of the 100s of hunters i know, i dont think i had ever heard ofanyone of them using a harness. I know i should, but i probably never will.

RE: % of hunters not using a harness
ya I would even bet that it is more than that. Earlier in the season especially when it is hot and you are looking to cut off whatever you can and still stay covered. Plus they have become kinda expensive. After setting up your bow and buing arrows and broadheads. You start to think to yourself that you have been sitting most of your life.....What is the chance you will fall now?
