Title: Had a angel with me today...
Post by: aim small...release on July 12, 2015, 07:24:00 PM
Well I was taking advantage of a beautiful day today and decided to get my stands moved around and what not. Anyhow I recently gained access to the land next door to where I currently hunt and its very small but it had a couple ladder stands on it that were gifted to me with permission to hunt. Well all my ladder s have the top strap as well as one around the middle as well. Well not thinking right I climbed unstrapped the top and took one step down and saw the crap rope around the middle and realized uh oh. 15ft fall later a bone chip torn ligaments and a 2nd  chance at life. Should have never climbed someone else's set with out a a full inspection. As I lay there I couldn't quit thinking about me wife and 2 little ones at home. Absolutely life changing

I'm sorry to hear about your fall, and now the news about your fracture.

I've had a few close calls over the years myself, and they're attention getters for sure.

I wish you the best. Hope your recovery is fast, and complete.

Glad to hear you didn't end up a para or a quad.

And what happened to you is why I don't hunt from any type of stand.
