Last weekend I was hunting at Letterkenny Army Depot. A 76 year old hunter was using a climbing stand when the accident happen. I heard the stand broke but that is 2nd or 3rd hand info.
He fell 15 feet crushing his pelvis and sustaining a serious head injury. A friend of mine was near by and helped as best he could. The hunter was flown out on a life flight helicopter.
He was wearing a harness but it was not attached while he was climbing. He died from the injuries.
Im sure we have all made the same mistake. Please take a moment to make sure you are tied to the tree before your feet leave the ground.
