Just read in the newspaper today. Hunter fell while hanging a treestand on the Hunt Family Farm in W. Amwell twsp. he broke his leg,had to be taken out on an ATV to ambulance.
What he said now get him a tree hopper for hanging stands and a Life line and harness for getting in and out of them as a get well gift and maybe a cattle prod you can spark him up with anytime you see him going out with out that stuff.rgw, real sorry to hear about your brother, yes, speedy recovery.
Dick comment!no offense or not trying to seem like a real dbag , but good for em ....now he will understand the importance
RGW that sucks man i hope the dr. works on him soon. i usually just hang stands without any strap but i read about a few falls on the site while hanging so i started useing a rope riged up with a safty belt and its actually easeyer to hang with it i can use both my hands also when i need them. falls dont happen offen but they do happen - SO BE SAFE GUYS
That's cool.Treehopper climbing belt
You mean a lines mans belt? HSS sells one or make one with 2 carabiners and some ropeI need to get a pole climbing belt for hanging and taking down stands - that's a must have that I don't have.
Anyone use these or know where to get them ?
That's what she saidI carry a long cam lock strap in my pants while hunting.
no doubt, hunting especailly from a stand can be very dangerous ! do you ever think of this scenario of being up in a deer stand and hunting by yourself. than falling and being suspended up in the air. how would you get down ? i always carried a knife in my breast pocket for that reason. .
Nick Marone?yup that was my brother. broke his ankle and have to put steel plates in. his ankle is still to swolen for them to do the surgery yet.
Oh no there is still plenty of time[eyeroll]Congratulations on winning Dick post of the year [down]
Thats the kind of thing an Anti hunting extremist would say, when they celebrate one of us getting hurt while hunting. Pretty messed up bro...no offense or not trying to seem like a real dbag , but good for em ....now he will understand the importance
and shame on you being member on the site , after all the talks and safety reminders you didnt beat it into him
