Be Friggin Careful out there.

You hear about things happening during hunting season, but this is real close to home.
My Son-in-Law's brother just bagged a 8 or 9 point buck in the woods of Kentucky.
He texted his brother with a picture and went back to retrieve a tractor to drag the deer back.
The next thing he heard was that his brother rolled the tractor and was killed.
40 years old and now gone.
Be Careful out there.

My Condolences to the Family very sad indeed!

Sorry to hear, condolences to your family.

I have a couple 4 wheelers but I either drag deer myself, or throw it on a horse, Im kinda a purist.

Damn, sorry to hear. Life is fragile. An old racing buddy rolled a lawnmower several years back and hes been paralyzed ever since.. from cutting his lawn...

Damn, that sucks.

Hunters, make sure you wear those safety harnesses when you're up in the tree! My great uncle died a few years back after falling from a stand. Broken hip, leg, and massive internal damage. Be safe!

Also saw in news on dailymail just now a guy shot his brother in the waning light thinking he was game.

It is RIDICULOUS that people still get up into tree stands without harnesses.

It amazes me. They're comfortable and easy to wear. Worn correctly, they don't get in the way. They're pretty inexpensive, and some stands come with them. It's CRAZY not to wear them.

Sad story. Goes to show how quickly it could end for any one of us. Live every day like it is your last.

Wow, sad to hear. Sorry for your loss. I wonder how many guys will have heart attacks dragging out deer this year. Seems like there is at least one per year. Negligent shootings too.

Horrible news to hear. Thoughts are with the family.
