Wade's World Hunting: Guess what’s the greatest danger a deer hunter faces? Falling from a treestand. Each year hunters die or are injured seriously from falls. A friend who is an orthopedic surgeon treats numerous such patients each year. My hunting partner broke a leg in a fall.

Hunters must wear a safety device at all times. The greatest danger is when climbing into or down from the stand.

My favorite is the parachute-type harness. This model is “Seat of the Pants." The beauty of this system is that if you fall, you land upright. Your weight is supported by leg straps, unlike the constricting belt around the waist or chest.

You owe it to your loved ones to always wear a safety harness when hunting from a tree stand. Don’t take a chance. Wear safety harness every time!
