Report of Treestand and Deer Hunting Expert, Professor Phillip A. Bishop, Ed.D.
Introductory materials
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON DEER HUNTING FROM ELEVATED STANDS
1)      At the risk of boring the court with information already known, as an expert I am providing a brief synopsis of deer hunting from elevated stands.
a.       Deer hunting is a very popular sport and a multi-million dollar commercial industry. 
b.      In the USA, deer hunting season begins in the fall and varies from as short as a one-week gun season to several months. 
c.       Deer can be legally hunted with bow and arrow, with modern firearms, and with muzzle-loading black powder firearms (and with spears in Alabama).
d.      Prior to the 1970’s, hunters who wished to hunt from elevated stands primarily built free-standing towers (called shooting houses) or more popularly, built platforms in trees accessible via ladders, steps nailed to the tree, or occasionally some other means.
e.       In the 1970’s, the Baker Company (Valdosta, GA) (accessed on 6-11 from: http://www.ehow.com/about_4843821_deer-stands.html) developed a “climbing” portable tree stand that immediately changed elevated deer hunting.  A Baker stand could be readily transported to the hunting location and attached to the tree. By “hugging” the tree the hunter could lift his feet thereby lifting the stand attached to his feet with loops and climb a limbless tree.
f.        Soon an entire industry formed around several types of portable tree stands, tree stand accessories, and other variations including ladder stands, commercial shooting houses, tripod stands, etc.  More recently, associated equipment such as waist belts, chest harnesses and full-body fall arrest harnesses, as well as ascent and descent tie-in devices were commercially promoted.
g.      Deer hunting is typically done from just before sunrise to just after sunset; so many hunters will begin their hunt or end their hunt in darkness (as verified in NBEF video).
h.      Deer hunters typically hunt regardless of weather conditions. That is, hunters may hunt during rain, snowfall, high winds, extreme cold, or hot and humid weather.
i.        Some hunters can be expected to be in poor physical condition, over-weight, very young and very old, with varying degrees of hunting, tree stand, and safety harness (Full Body Harness, FBH) experience.
j.        Most hunting from elevated stands is done alone, and may be done out of cell phone range.

2)      Dr. Eric Jones and I in 2012 published survey of deer hunting safety.  Over 1000 deer hunters have responded. Note that these were self-reported data which suggests the possibility that these responses are biased towards positive responses to an unknown degree.  Pertinent results include:

a.       With regard to more than 700 Hunter Education Instructors:
                                                              i.      In question #10, 104 of 732 Hunter Education Instructors (14%) reported using a safety device (FBH, belt, etc.) less than 10% of the time.
                                                            ii.      In question #19, 300 of 727 Hunter Education Instructors (41%) reported wearing a harness less than 10% of the time while ascending; whilst 362 of 727 respondents (50%) reported wearing it more than 50% of the time.
                                                          iii.      Of those Hunter Education Instructors who do NOT use a safety device (question #12), 57 of 234 respondents (24%) reported that, “harnesses are too much trouble”.
                                                          iv.      In question #26, 194 of 728 respondents (26%) answered “no” to “Do you always make sure the tree stand you purchase has TMA approval”.
b.      Of the more than 300 deer hunter “consumers” respondents:
                                                              i.       In question #10, 110 of 348 respondents (31%) reported using a safety device (FBH, belt, etc.) less than 10% of the time.
                                                            ii.      In question #19, 229 of 340 respondents (67%) reported wearing a harness less than 10% of time while ascending; whilst 86 of 340 respondents (25%) reported using harness whilst climbing more than 50% of the time.
                                                          iii.      Of those “consumers” who do NOT use a safety device (question #12), 35 of 167 respondents (21%) reported that, “harnesses are too much trouble”.
c.       Keep in mind that survey responses are self-reported data.  It could be expected that ALL respondents would exaggerate somewhat their positive safety and other behaviors, but Hunter Education Instructors might feel even more pressure to do so. Therefore, I would suggest that these data are at least somewhat inflated towards positive (safer) behavior.

3)      In summary of this section, these points suggest that:
a.       Deer hunting can on occasion be a dangerous sport and that a major risk is falling from a treestand or being injured by a fall arrest device.
