Like already said, not using a saftey harness isalso not using common sense.
Quality clothing to keep me warm and dry. It allows me to spend more time on stand when I need to be.

Not specifically, but some of my best investments in hunting have been those items that I didn't go cheap on. I feel like I am leaning away from my father's advice to be extremely conservative, and have been able to realize that "you get what you pay for" in most instances and this has never been so true, especially with hunting gear! Don't get me wrong, I am not likea woman in Abercrombie or AE, noshot at cupcake, but when it comes to my hunting gear, I make a decision as to whether this is something I ought to go cheap on and more often than not anymore, I go with the top notch or next best model........hence top notch, Mathews bow....hahah j/k.
My hunter safety system is one of the best investments for sure though.

RE: What would you say
I was going to say a bow, these days gun camp is more of a great time with a great bunch of guys, but if I really want a hunt I grab my bow. But, I agree with you cupcake, the investment of time is one of the best responses that I have read in the 8 yrs I've been on this site.
I know a guy like that, he couldn't afford a call if he wanted one, but every year its no surprise when he hangs the biggest buck, or somehow brings back a bear that he shot while walking out to a deer stand; he grew up doing it, I could read books and watch hunting shows for years and not understand whats happening in the bush like he does.

Not wearing a safety harness, like others have said anything can and will happen out in the woods the more your out there hunting the more somthing could go wrong .So if you won't do it for yourself do it for your family.And remember the old saying the DOC use to say PAY ME NOW OR PAY ME LATER IT'S UP TO YOU .
