Dan,

Best of luck. Are you archery hunting or rifle deer hunting? I hunt from ground blinds. Every year we have hunters falling asleep and falling out of their tree stands. I am amazed to see some guys 20, 25 and 30 feet UP! Two years ago a lad shot a deer from 20 feet up and then stepped off to go tag his deer. He did not survive the fall.

Many tree stand hunters use a full-body harness, but that has risks. We had two hunters die last year because they were in harness, but upside down and their cell phones had no signal.

Heights NEVER bother me when I can keep one foot on the ground. LOL.

Best of luck and be safe.

Adam
