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
Glad you are relatively unharmed! Speedy recovery my friend!
so glad your ok....that's scary stuff...I had a near fall from a climber a cpl years ago...now I leave that stuff for the birds!
Glad it wasn't worse.

Without angels, I wouldn't be here now. A few times over.
Glad you are ok. Lesson learned, next time might not e as kind. Everyone take heed and do not take chances. We need all our brothers and sisters for the next season.

Good luck. I can't think of the number of times I have climbed things I shouldn't have.
Very fortunate!

Glad you are OK, minus the ligaments. Praying for a speedy recovery.
The outcome could've been much worse! Glad to hear you didn't get hurt and worse than you did!
Glad you are alright.
A hard lesson learned that doesn't kill you in the teaching process is truly a blessing.
I thank God for your good fortune and ask for complete healing.

Well got some more news...not what I wanted. There is a pretty bad fracture and I have to go see a orthopedic surgeon tommorow to find out my fate....
Bless you brother. Praying for your speedy recovery.

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.
