First-light Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 So as you know fell about 10' this year coming down out of my stand. I was lucky and was just a bit sore for a few days. I took a walk today on my property and looked at a few of the stands that are in place. There are hazards at the bottom of these tree stands that need to be removed. There are a couple of visible rocks that should come out. At one tree stand small trees were cut leaving a few a couple feet off the ground. They need to go. Same for any logs that are on the ground. All these things could of made a big difference in my outcome if I were to land on one. This is a priority this year for sure. Ok I'm done. lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I missed that you had fallen. Sorry about that, glad you're ok. A friend of a friend smashed his leg falling out of stand. 2 huge rocks at the bottom. I now always look at what is at the bottom. As we get older we don't heal as quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky I landed on my side and my shoulder took much of the impact. My head did snap to the ground once I hit it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah having saplings cut 1-2ft under a tree stand could lead to impalement real quick we’re an accident to happen. Would not be pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobbler Chaser Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I've got plans in the works to build 2 8ft platforms that I'll mount hub blinds to, plus steps leading up with handrails. It's mostly about comfort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
