A friend of my son named Richard has broken his back in three places without spinal cord damage. This was near Lynchburg, VA and it happened today. He is in the hospital now with his wife and Kyle. One of the broken areas are not clearly see and the MD's are not sure how bad the damage is yet.
Obviously he was not strapped in with a harness. Our pastor Kyle is going to go hunting with my best friend on Sat., I will lend him my harness so this won't happen to him.

My thoughts/prayers for family.
Folks wear your harness.
Wife's cousin has been lying there in that cold ground for something like 15 years because he was not wearing any protection from tree stand fall.

Safer Yet. Stop using Tree Stands. My prayers are going out to this young man for a recovery from this terrible fall.

Wayne, that's a tough thing. I broke mine in one place years ago logging when I was younger, with no cord damage. It didn't seem like a big thing then, but every year has got more painful dealing with it. Some days I just plain can't do anything.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Will do, hope for the best.

Prayers have been sent. My Dad broke his back in WWII and did fine until late in life when scar tissue built up and caused pain to where he had to have a morphine pump installed to make pain bearable.
Any update on Richard, Wayne?
