Be careful out there guys

Got a call from a buddy in Tennessee one of the guys I've hunted with down there had an accident he was hooking his boys harness in and his stand gave way he grabbed for the other stand and it came out of the tree to Jeremy broke his back in 2 spots and his boy has a big head wound. I was told there looking into criminal activity because it looked like the straps were cut.they had harnesses but were not tied in yet. Make sure you tie off and check your stands something we all overlook.

Jeez o Pete! A cut strap is just bad news. Whomever did that needs some serious punishment, and I hope they can find out who it was!

Its sad that someone would do something like that! Hoping for a full recovery for them!

RedCloud · Oct 15, 2014

That's crazy. Hope they will be Ok. I also hope if there was somebody messing with the stands they find out who and give them backwoods justice. That's just wrong on so many levels. Would be nice if they could be charged with attempted murder or something like that. Bet that would stop others from messing with stands.

Hope they make a full recovery and find out who did that. Crazy.

That's terrible. Not enough words to describe that insanity.

Hope they make full recoveries. If that was me and I recovered, and found out who did it, I'd need help burying bodies. Or at least starting a fire.

"J" · Oct 15, 2014

Wow, there's a special place in hell for a$$holes like that....

Hoytmania · Oct 15, 2014

Insane!!!!! Someone needs a serious flogging!!!!!

Hortontoter · Oct 15, 2014

What kind of person would do something like that? Hope they are caught and punished. I hope the fella and his son recover. This is nonsense to even read of this happening.

bigten05 · Oct 15, 2014

I'd say of they find anyone that knows anything they won't make a phone call to the police. There a lot of spots in the mountains there nobody would ever look.

Archertl · Oct 15, 2014

Hope they make a full recovery.

Bigslam51 · Oct 15, 2014

I hope they fully recover! Whoever did that needs beat down...bad.

cotty16 · Oct 15, 2014

Holy shit! That is sad. Can't believe someone would go to those extremes.

Hope they recover well and find the bastards if those straps were cut.

Big_Holla · Oct 15, 2014

Can't even believe this would ever happen. WTF is wrong with people. Prayers to them both on recovering.

MK111 · Oct 15, 2014

I hope recover OK. I had a somewhat similar thing happen to me. I had permission to hunt a large farm I was doing crop permits on and the owners buddies wanted me gone. I climbed into my permanent stand in the dark and put my hand into a pile of human crap. Some sicko did a job on my seat. I told the owner if I found out who did it I would plant a tree over the human fertilizer. He sent the word out and they must have believed me as I had no more problems.

Strother23 · Oct 15, 2014

That's crazy.. I second everything said above.

Mike · Oct 16, 2014

Dang. Prayers sent to both of them. You're a special kind of asshole to stoop to that extreme.

finelyshedded · Oct 16, 2014

Sorry to hear this Josh! If someone did in fact do this to his stand I hope their demons get the best of them.

teej89 · Oct 16, 2014

damn that's ridiculous! Just pisses me off someone could even think of doing that too. And the fact it happened to a kid, you're saying boy so I'm assuming he's young. I hope they find em and make em "disappear".

As a side note I've thought of people doing that to me so I always inspect my straps before stepping on the stand.

Be careful out there guys
