For all you rifle hunters out there

[Mears]

I just found out that a friend of mine from back home died after his gun went off after pulling it up into his tree stand. Please everyone take extra precaution. I know you've probably heard it a hundred times, but my friend was a smart guy and had been hunting for a long time. It can happen to anyone.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Complacency when it comes to safety can quickly turn into a terrible mistake. My regards to your friend's family.

Sorry At least he went out doing something that he enjoyed instead of a car wreck or something along those lines.

For the other hunters out there, please remember to load your weapons after you have already climed the tree.
