    Lucky you didn' t kill yourself! I' d suggest a Seat-of the Pants safety harness. Its great while climbing and putting in pegs (lineman' s belt) and also safety in your stand.

    Good Luck!

    Your letting a couple stitches keep you from the rut? Suck it up and get back out there!

    I think this is the type of story that every bowhunter dreads hearing because they do not think that it can happen to them. Thanks for the reminder on safety and I hope your arm heals up soon. I know what it is to not be able to hunt no matter how much you want to.
