Columbus, OH- The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife would like to remind hunters to wear a Full Body Safety Harness (FBSH) and use a climbing safety strap whenever their feet leave the ground.  Tree stands (elevated platforms), are one of the most popular pieces of equipment used by deer hunters in Ohio and nationwide.  However, due to human error and/or equipment failure, the number of debilitating or fatal injuries resulting from their use is higher than it should be.  Statistically, one out of three hunters will fall from a tree stand at some point in his or her hunting career.  Given that statistic it is imperative that the proper safety gear be used--and used correctly.
