This guy works in our Holland, Michigan plant and is a great guy and a great hunter, I don't have anymore details, but always make sure we are doing things to be safe, wear a harness and let's pray for Jeff! Jeff Elenbaas update... My brother Jeff was in a hunting accident yesterday when he fell from a tree and seriously injured his back. Ryan, my other brother, was with him. He was air-lifted to Peoria, Illinios, St. Francis Medical Center where Jeff had surgery last night and is in recovery in the Critical Care Unity of the Illinois Neurological Institute. We just met with the neurologist this morning who did the surgery last night. We need your prayers for Jeff, for a miracle and recovery of his spinal cord, for his wife Nesa and his kids. You can follow what's happening if you have or create an account with Carepages. His site is "jeffelenbaas" at www.carepages.com and we'll try to provide some updates there. In Christ alone, Tom Elenbaas

Guys and gals,
Let's be safe out there. Be tied off from the time you leave the ground until you get back down.
I have 6 treestand saftey videos from Big Dog Treestands left. If you want one FOC, PM me and I'll send it to you.
It is very informative and I learned a lot from it.

I am with Woody on tree stand saftey, My father lost his leg from falling from a tree stand and I hate to see anyone get hurt doing something they love.

and remember, most falls occur while ascending or decending.
I was dumb once and took the spill while climbing. I was fortunate.
