11-9-17 tree stand dangers

todayNovember 9, 2017

A Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s captain says a tree stand accident in Fond du Lac County  is a reminder for deer hunters to make sure their  deer hunting equipment is working properly.   A hunter was seriously injured after falling 19 feet when two cables on his stand snapped.  Sheriff’s captain Ryan Waldschmidt is an avid deer hunter and says its important to wear a safety harness just in case.  “We always preach, wear a harness,”  Waldschmidt told WFDL news.  “…so if you do lose your balance or your tree stand fails you’ve got something to hold you up there and suspend you.”
