    grew up hunting in the northeast and never heard of tree stands or blinds, except for duck hunting.

    you hunted deer by stalking them, no dogs allowed either. see a dog chasing a deer you shot it.

    what else is there..??

    like can we go back in time, and save him from falling?

    did you see the picture that was posted, of a ladder with a folding chair on top?

    too bad he died, but hey.......it is what it is.

    and it ain't like the very FIRST time, anyone here poked fun at ANYTHING...

    I had a relative fall out of his stand and was paralyzed from the waist down. Spent the last 20 years of his life in a wheelchair.

    Dang hate to bear that. A good friend of mine fell out of his year before last and broke his ankle and some ribs. Not sure what happened but he was in his climber stand.

    I’m assuming the deer found it funny, or maybe it was a bipartisan commission/mafia of deer and beavers who set up a hit on him and were successful.
