I don’t mean this bad towards friends and family by any means, and it may sound selfish. But I told my wife about a family friend that passed away several years ago sitting at the base of his ladder stand, that if I go in the woods or on the water it would be a lot better than in the nursing home or battling cancer…
Prayera for the family and friends Amen, we should all be so lucky to live a long life and meet our maker doing what we love. Prayers lifted for his friends and family. Terrible news. Prayers for the man's family in this painful time.

I cannot confirm but the word I got from a solid source was he fell from the stand. Wear the harness and tie off boys. Praying for the family he sounded like a good man
Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

Yeah, I agree, that beats going out with cancer, family or others taking care of me with dementia or Alzheimer's, parkinson's, etc. Prayers are offered up for the family.

Anymore Updates on this Sad Story? Just Wondering if it has been Confirmed, that it was in fact a Tree Stand Accident.

Local news article said it was a "ladder type stand" near a bluff. The ladder portion was on the bluff side of the tree and if I recall right, I think it said there was an issue with the ladder.

I said what I said bc I don’t know, I wasn’t meaning he committed suicide or anything of that nature.. I heard some talk of the bluff but not a tree stand. But if it was a tree stand accident it makes more sense to me than him just walking off one… prayers for family

My hiking app says if you go into bankhead, take a compass and a map.
Hate to hear about the hunter passing away.

The news report said he was found only 400yds from his vehicle; so probably not lost. RIP to the hunter.

He wasn’t lost. He fell from stand off a bluff. They believe he was coming down and fell.

He wasn’t lost. He fell from stand off a bluff. They believe he was coming down and fell. I saw a local report from a Hunstville station that indicated the same. Sounds like they believe it was an accident. Being public land, I'd guess it was a climber? I would like to know if it was ladder or climber. I stay on the ground now, Never liked being up in a tree.
