Many think very little of hunting safely. I personally take safety very seriously when I am out hunting. When I am in my tree stand I always wear a harness, I would rather be uncomfortable than be dead or paralyzed. I would honestly say that a safety harness is a must. Also if you are hunting with another person you must always be completely aware of where that other person is at all times. You do not want to take a shot on an animal without knowing the background, no animal is worth the life of a friend or family member! Nothing helps defend my case more than an article from Fox 17 about a Michigan man killing his brother in a hunting accident. A brother and some of his friends went to go do a quick hunt on some deer that were crossing an open pasture very frequently. The brother shot at and missed a deer not knowing his brother was out in the area. The brother never came home and was found with a bullet hole in the head. This is definitely a backs my strong feelings of safety while hunting. I would say wear a safety harness to help keep yourself in your tree and ALWAYS know the background of where you are hunting. If you do not know where your friends and/or family are do not take a shot, its not worth killing someone. Thanks for reading and just remember hunt safely!
