That's definitely sad. I'm not sure I understand how the harness broke though.

I'm guessing he used a little longer tether than was recommended, which gave him more speed on the way down and caused the failure........ crazy.gif

Sad story....hope things turn out for the best

Re: Local hunter fall out of tree.

I bought and use the new hss vest i recommend it to anyone who hunts from an elavated stad, on a side note you should also wear a saftey fall restraint wne climbing and decending from you stand, PLEASE be careful. I had a friend of the family die when he fell from his stand while climbing it happend 15 years ago but still burned into my memorie. He was 25 year deer hunter. So if you think it cant happen to you, think again

That is terrible news. My prayers are with him and his family. This reminds me of my hunt on Sunday. I was extremely tired and could barely keep my eyes open while sitting in the stand. So what did I do? I climbed down and went home to sleep. I figured it was better to just climb down then to sit there and have that chance of falling out and hurting or killing myself.
