If you’ve been hunting for most of your life, it’s easy to become complacent when it comes to your stand safety, too easy. Every year the most common injury or cause of death for hunters in the United States is somehow related to tree stand safety. Do your part to care for your safety and the safety of others in your hunting party. Check your gear before you climb and wear a harness.

Enjoy the hunt, enjoy your life, stay safe in the trees.
