I teach hunting safety...More hunters are hurt from falling from a tree than shot...If those are the type hunters you hang around with, you might want to set your bar a little higher...

As far as you not knowing any who have fallen out of a tree, then I doubt if you have been deer hunting very long...Or live in and area where hunters hunt from the ground...:D

Use a little common sense, buckle up, while in the car and in the tree...

I spend 4 days last year looking for a local hunter that never came home from the hunt...We finally found him, by following the buzzards, he was under his tree stand...He didn't believe in a harness either.....

Land
After a number of cheap scopes, the decision to buy a Zeiss Diavari
Lifetime license

RE: What would you say
 

I really would like to get my own land for many purposes. I found one that was awesome. For the land being unbelievable.... so was the price. it was like minumin $2,600,000 -$3,867,500..... Has to be inbetween that because some of the acreage goes less than others.

RE: What would you say
 

Land would be great but for the average working guy here in Illinois its becoming a impossable

RE: What would you say
 

Same in GA unless you have old money. I think with the economy its nippin everyone in the butt

RE: What would you say
 

A very functional ground blind

RE: What would you say
 

Ground in ILL. is getting cheaper, I have several buddies from Georgia ansd Alabama that bought land up here a few years back and are now losing it because they were home builders and are going bankrupt, so land will go down again, for a while then it will go back up..in pike some farms were going for 5000.00-7000.00 an acre, Monday some sold which was one of the best pieces around, lots of big deer, for 2750.00 an acre..

RE: What would you say
 

My 2cents on the safety harness, I have too many people depending on me to come home than not take the xtra time in using one. They can be a pain at times but then again, so can falling.

Best money spent= hunter safety system, thermacell, and my savage .308.

RE: What would you say
 

I wish my grandparents didnt act poor..... it would make a dern good christmas/birthday present to get me some land

RE: What would you say
 

2750 still alot to me.
I remember ground in west central Illinois selling for $500--$1000 now that sells for $3000 ---$4000.
Only wish i would have been breve enough way back then

RE: What would you say

RE: What would you say
 

I got lucky and bought all mine in the late 80's at 300.00 an acre..

RE: What would you say
 

Smart move.
Late 80's and early 90' s i was just starting out (job/life) and was too scared to buy any.

RE: What would you say
 

I was the same way, I just got out of school and started my own company and thought for awhile I bit off more then I could chew, but it worked out in the end..But had some scary times..

RE: What would you say
 

Well darnit....... WHATS THE HOLD UP YALL!!!!!!! I can fly anywhere I need to!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: What would you say
 

Be prepared ---i have feeling your going to get overwhelmed with offers

RE: What would you say

RE: What would you say

RE: What would you say
 

Time hunting withmy father is mybest investment (hes getting up there in age) But otherwise land and food plots.

RE: What would you say
 

My greatest investment was spending $ on a trip to Colorado to hunt Mule Deer (bought a land owner tag instead of lottery). It was the hunting experience of my life. I can't wait to do it again

RE: What would you say
 

Dont cry now

RE: What would you say
 

I wont--besides your way too young

RE: What would you say
 

Jimmy had it right way back there near the beginn': got my little lady hooked on it, now we do it together. She got her first deer last year, looking for another this year.

RE: What would you say
 

All of yall have had great responses. Thank you for taking that time.

To the few of you that do NOT wear a safety harness, I hope after the video link I posted, you will rethink it. Doesn't have to do with common sense (well yes, common sense is that you'd wear one) nor how great of a hunter you are, how good you are at setting up. Something can always go wrong. You are very LUCKY something hasn't happened, but remember.... your luck will run out, and then you have nothing.

Better safe than sorry!

RE: What would you say
 

hoyt vectrix and i love it to death

RE: What would you say
 

I just bought a Ross, Cardiac and I think that is my personell best investment ever. haven't had a new bow in 16 years, and that was a PSC Lightening Flight. My how things have changed.
