Hunter Jumps From Stand Because...

And to think some of us are nervous about people with guns running around in the woods!

I don't know about any of you, but I'm pretty sure I'd need new underwear. Preferably scent lock of some sort.

One would think you’d be notified if they were going to be doing that on your property. I have two easements that border my suburban house (one electric company and one sewer district) and always get letters with dates they’ll be working and what they’ll be doing. Not sure how it works in rural areas with those main power lines. That would freak the heck out of me.

That's intense.

 

Like that time I went camping... It was intense
No but really holy crap that would be shady.

The ironic thing about this is I read this story two weeks ago and last week I saw one trimming by our property.

 

Yikes!

 

Thats bull crap, why didn't they contact the landowner?

 

I wonder if he had his tree harness on and he disconnected to jump or didn't have one on at all.

 

That is a lawsuit just waiting to happen. No reason why they couldn't contact the landowner and inform him of what was going to happen. Glad to see he is alright.

 

Alright, so maybe there is one scenario where a safety harness would not be beneficial.

 

good thing he wasnt snoozin hard

 

They trimmed the powerlines on my land this spring. That is a wicked cool saw they use!

At least they contacted me first. :D

 

If I saw that thing, it would make pee and poop my pants. man that pilot is lucky he doesn't get shot at. It is one freaky lookin contraption. Whoever invented that was crazy.

 

I was thinking the same thing man as I was playing the scenario out in my mind. Also, he had to hear that thing coming as loud as it is.

 

That shouldn't happen... glad he's alright. That seems really dangerous for the pilot as well.
