Been wondering the same thing. Don't think it's been released yet. Last years came out Jan. 6. Little slower this year

I have read about a few of them in the NY game & fish paper. One guys was shot at over 150 yds with a rifle. He was walking through some thick stuff on edge of woods. Had his orange vest inside his camo jacket. Works real well when you do that. Shooter was charged but I don't remember with what as it has been a few weeks since I read it

This guy was able to reach his phone while hanging from harness and called his son

Tree stand accidents are not included as hunting incidents.

it'll take a while to get them up, eventhough this says 1/6/12. Here is 2011 http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/huntingsafetystats11.pdf
