Hunter Dies After Fall From Treestand

[132 eight pointer]

My thoughts are with the Docteur family . May Eric always live in your memories.

[Doc]

I want to thank you all for your kind thoughts and condolences. This kind of thing is always pretty tough to get through. Ricky was a great guy and to go at such a young age is just a horrible thing.

Nobody needs to receive the kind of phone call that my aunt and uncle did. I can't even imagine the horror of hearing those words that their youngest son was dead. And for his wife and children, what a devastating life altering event that must be.

This is all something that we seldom think of when we head out to go hunting. But all aspects of hunting safety have taken on a whole new reality for me.

Sorry for your loss Doc.  Most accidents happen getting in or out of your stand. I wear fall protection but not while getting in or out. this could happen to anyone.

Chevy, try a prussic setup for your stands, you can be attached all the way up and down, they are inexpensive and easy to make and work great. I have gone to them and absolutely love them.
