[buckdeer1]

We may become a little lax with hunting season being over but treestand maintenance is happening everywhere.Today I received a call from adjoining landowner that was working stands.He had fallen and said he thought he broke his back.I was able to get my fire and rescue guys to him over the phone since I knew pretty well where he was.So far 1 broken verabrea

He's lucky he had someone like you to call. You can never be too safe climbing trees. I wouldn't dare try climbing this time of year around here. Everything is full of snow and ice. But your point is well taken.

Also remember to use linemans belt when working.There is a method using the 2 ropes that usually come with ladder stands to tie them to tree while going up to put on strap
