Then compair it to climbing with sticks
I'm sure a lot of close calls that result in no injury go unreported. I did not report the bullet that hit the tree above my head when I was 10 years old, only to my dad. No authorities were involved. I also didn't report my cousin when he almost shot my foot off with a 12 gauge while we were rabbit hunting. I've also been shot (peppered) several times on dove fields and had little red whelps to show for it, lol.Yeah, my bad. We talked earlier about that. I'd say shootings are definitely getting reported and the sample to real ratio is quite high. Hard to get shot and not end up with doctors and LEOs and reporters and such involved.
Falls? Probably less attention attracted.
Sure. I'm sure nobody reports the times they almost fell to their death either.I'm sure a lot of close calls that result in no injury go unreported.

True...Sure. I'm sure nobody reports the times they almost fell to their death either.
I know there is no data for this.and sticks sell so well its a no no to poo poo.so we wont talk about that.or other methods of climbing since thats whats most relative to saddle hunters falling. it just seems like its harder to fall out of a saddle than off a treestand to me, i could be wrong..Then compair Single steps to sticks.never hurt myself with singe steps.but i hear alot Of incidents happen with one or more sticks.
Are crossbow hunters disproportionately obese and/or old?A rare feather in the cap for crossbow hunters.
Nice work boys!
