Every year, there are numerous reports of hunters injured when falling from tree stands; and often, the difference between life and death is at the end of a lifeline. The National Sports and Shooting Foundation reported in 2011 that more than 6,600 hunting accidents were related to tree stands. As hunting seasons are either opening up or are in full swing around the country, Hunter Safety System (HSS) and Hunter Ed (the leader in online hunting education) are coming together to encourage hunters to stay safe.
HSS and Hunter Ed are asking you to help promote tree stand safety awareness by entering their Tree Stand Photo Contest! Find details and official rules by clicking on the picture below:
