    My friend Jimmy Brooks fell out of his tree stand about 10 years ago. He became a paraplegic for the next 8 years, confined to a wheelchair and at the mercy of others. Despite all this Jimmy still hunted with a retrofitted rifle compliments of Buckmaster. He was a warrior! Jimmy Brooks passed away about 2 years ago. He left a legacy of true grit and determination! RIP Jimmy!

    Hello Craig, my injury is a little more like yours seeing as I fell down a 100 foot cliff face. Thankfully I had two friend's with me at the time of my accident. Now Nathan I can also relate to your fall seeing as after my fall I had to learn to walk, feed myself, go to the bathroom, but those thing's happen after a 3 week coma and a Traumatic Brain Injury. I know that we both went through the same stuff through our Father and our Savior we are both walking and going through life like we did before the accident's. The one major thing that kept me moving forward was that I remembered where I was and I wanted to be back there again. I remember the wheel chair, then the pick up walker, then quad cane, and a few day's latter single point cane. As you probably know that single point cane is left behind more often then it come's with us. Keep on following the lead of our Father and our Savior will never steer you wrong.

    I was in NC in the Burlington area and remember seeing this on the news and one of my hunting buddies had hear of it aswell. I have fallen 20 ft two times and walk away with small injury but one of two my last fall it got my hip and lower back. After I got over my hurt I told every hunter the safety belts will save your life because after my falls I wore them Everytime I went up. 1st stand fall made a mistake stood up take coat off back off the front of the stand. 2nd time I was invited to a lease that had wooden ladder stand and before I could strap my self the corner broke off due to rotten. Hunting friends be safe and always have your belt on.

    Beloved Brother Nathan, I am so thankful to hear your story. More so the Glory you give to God our Father for interceding on your behalf, for giving you the strength, and courage you needed at that moment so you would not give up. For helping you to understand that if you did your part HE, your God would do what you COULD NOT.
    See I'm a retired firefighter/EMT. My last fire ended in and explosion that was so big it damage homes more than a 1/4 of a mile away. I was in the center of that explosion. For the Glory of God I am alive to see my three children grown, married and my fourth grand child come into the world. I should have died that day but God protected me. Looking back I see all the ways HE has worked through me. (not my will BUT HIS not my GLORY BUT HIS)
    I DO understand how Humbling it is to have to learn to walk all aver again. I had to learn to talk, eat, even potty and bath all over again. I sustained a head injury among other injuries, so I DO understand these things.
    I think YOU ARE BRAVE, because....you allowed God to take control instead of fighting for control for yourself. Letting go and giving it to God is where TRUE BRAVERY comes into a persons life.
    Thank you for showing the world what a REAL MAN looks like brother🥰
    All my heart felt love
    May God heap blessing on you and yours and be well pleased with you

    As a kid I had a sociopath kid next door who would torment me from time time. A few years ago I looked him up, figuring he’d wound up in prison. Turns out his fate was much worse than prison - he fell out of a tree stand 15 years ago, but unlike this guy, he was totally paralyzed and died due to associated complications a couple years ago.

    I’m 13 and I wear a safety harness any time I’m above 15 foot in a stand

      I'm also 13 I go hunting we have a harness that I normally use but luckily we got like a really sturdy tree stand that we've been using for four years luckily I haven't had any accidents yet anyway and they're all like the edge of the woods because where we live we have deer everywhere so they're on the edge of the woods so I wouldn't really have to crawl anywhere if this happened I'm sorry I'm going to rant

    Hunters are innocent animal nightmares. Hunters are not heroes. Save the animals.

    This man should be able to understand now, how much pain he is giving to animals by hunting them. He should feel the pain of the animals in this way. God has given him the right punishment .
