I got old and quit climbing trees. Noticed deer looking up in trees for danger, killed my biggest buck ever while sitting in a camp chair behind a piece of camo burlap.
I use hunters safety system and love it. I used to always forget something I needed but since I started using HSS I never forget anything. The pockets have plenty of room for your pull rope, release, grunt call, etc. and it has clips for your binoculars. Everything I carry besides my stand and bow is in that vest. The only thing I don't like about it is when it gets wet and needs to be washed it's hard to dry.
Where did you find the Hunters safety system
Me too Carl...Old bones are easy to break prone not to heal good. I gave my three climbing stands away to a young neighbor that could not afford any. I hunt now either from a shooting house or a ground blind.Quote:

hunter safety system. and for all the guys that dont wear one, my brother spent 9 days in the Med at Memphis when he fell about 20 feet. Its not all about you especially if you have a wife and kids.
Last deer i killed i was standing in my carport and the deer was in the yard by my shop lol

Arthritis ended my climbing . No better way to hunt free ranging bucks, unless grandpa left you a couple of hundred delta acres and a shooting house . :ThumbsUp
Hunters safety. Don't climb much anymore but have some shooting houses and several 20' ladders. I fall asleep too easy when the sun hits so I wear it even in the ladders.
Been thinking about buying a climber this year for a few public land spots I hunt when I don't have time to drive to deer camp. I used to use climbers in my younger days with no harness, I know stupid, but bet we've all done it. If I do get a climber I will get a harness for sure. My questions is, if you fall out and dangling from the tree say 10 foot below your stand and 10 foot above the ground how do you get back to safety?
Pull out your phone and call.
May different from fall protection we use in construction, but they say dangling for half an hour you pass out, 45 minutes to an hour your dead. Most places I hunt you got very little cell service.
Lol! you shouldn't have that much tether out when in a tree. I think my tether line is about 6ft at the most. I also have a prussic knot on the line to snug it up and leave enough to move freely; if you do slip it will lockup and keep you within a few feet of the stand platform. I have the hunter safety system vest's. The mesh vest for early season and the reversible for late season. never leave the ground without attaching climb up/down with it attached. Thankyou for wearing a harness system!Quote:

Pretty neat Speck....but I just can't see Don doing that at 68. And at 72....I am not gonna try it.
Yes and a "controlled" fall is totally different than an accidental one. Not trying to stir anything up, but if your relying on a safety harness it's good to know what to do when your dangling. Your physical ability and remaining calm will dictate the rest I'm guessing. Thanks for the video Speck, gives me some ideas as what to do. But again most places I hunt your lucky if you can send a text, and a call isn't going to happen.

At least you have a fighting chance that way. Falling without a restraint almost guarantees a worse out come. On another note, Wannabe is ugly and really needs to bathe more than once a month when it's this hot!

I mainly hunt from ladder stands or ground blinds now. Hopefully IF I fall from the stand, I will be able to pull myself back to the ladder quickly. If I fall in my ground blind, I just stretch out and take a nap

I hunt out of the ol man grand vision stands..you would have to really work to make them fall. So...just like a life jacket...I will wear it, and pray I dont have to use it....Dang G... You kind of hurt my feelings....
Lol....well i know it would be very hard for me to work my way back up on that stand. And I would not be worried about the stand falling.....i would be worried about me falling off of it and hanging in a harness and not being able to get back to stand. Just the jar from the harness jerk would be enough to throw a old mans back out forever.Quote:

OK, OK. Cuzn lubber was really rude and highly insulting to Speck's family. Not that I mind insulting Speck. But somewhere in MO right now is some awful nervous women and I'll just leave it at that.

I did have the bottom section of a stand come off my feet one time. I held on a little while to the top climber . Hooked my legs around the tree. Got my arms around the tree...let go...thought I could hug the tree....I dropped like a rock....pulled all the buttons off my shirt.. Took all the hide off my belly. I never used a hand climber again..that's when I learned to tie both sections of the stand together
My stepfather used to use the old tree spikes to climb trees into stands. He slipped one afternoon going up and one of the spikes caught in his leg deep in the inner thigh. He couldn't get himself off the spike, he hollered and hollered lucky one of the caretakers just happened to be clearing a trail not to far from him and heard him. He barely missed the femoral artery, but the doctor told him just by the blood already lost if that fella hadn't heard him he wouldn't have been long for this world. He never used a spike again needless to say, that was back in the late 80's.
Dayum I don't think I would have told that on myself !!!!:Rofl:Rofl glad you didn't get hurt real bad !!! I would of said I knew a guy that that happen to !!!!:biggrin:popcornQuote:

I am not saying Don dosent know what he is doing.....i am just saying the age factor plays a bigger role than some thinks it does....some geezers just got to get hurt before they will admit that.

Climbing in any fashion is dangerous, I have gotten to the point that I really do not care to be in anything but a box stand with steps (not a ladder) going up to it or a ground blind. If I don't kill another deer it will be fine, crappy bite 12 months out of the year and I would much rather catch them.
