Safety gear shouldn’t be an option on these hunts….

He should be banned from any state hunts for life.

He should be banned from any state hunts for life. Dang, now I'm really interested in the story for the suggestion of such a stiff penalty. If your stance on that is simply based on him not wearing a safety harness then I'd have to disagree with the life time ban. Especially if it wasn't required to hunt. Now, if he was commiting actual criminal offense or intentional game violations, then sure, ban him. I hope that this experience is enough to convince him to wear safety gear in the future and utilize the lifeline system. I hope and pray he recovers well enough to even get back into the deer woods. The articles I did find to read, just indicated that he wasn't wearing any safety gear. If I'm missing something, let me know. |

Maybe DNR needs to consider making it a rule for draw hunts. I just get tired of people posting and feeling sorry for people that don't take necessary safety precautions. They wouldn't have gotten hurt or fallen if they were responsible hunters. |

Maybe DNR needs to consider making it a rule for draw hunts. I just get tired of people posting and feeling sorry for people that don't take necessary safety precautions. They wouldn't have gotten hurt or fallen if they were responsible hunters. Sometimes it's a hard lesson learned. And I would like to think that, if he recovers well enough, he'll learn from this. His medical expenses will be through the roof (the helicopter ride alone will be huge) and any lingering issues will, or at least should, serve as a constant reminder of the cost of not hunting safely. Since I don't hunt State parks or public, I'm not sure that I'm entitled to an opinion on it but, I would agree, that safety harnesses and lifelines should be a requirement. |

I think he’s paying a pretty stiff penalty right now….

I hunt private and all my tree stands have lifelines, but my box ground blinds don't (lol). I plan on buying two more 20 foot ladder stands and get rid of the one remaining hang-on stand. It all depends if I find a good deal after season on buying two. One for sure. I will need to buy one more lifeline if I buy two.

Probably a good thing BUT can that lead to the DNR extending that requirement statewide in the future? You know some of us don’t like being told what to do by the government |
