Double check your gear!

[UCFKNIGHT88]

I'm not sure who needs to hear this bc I know the majority of people here are experienced enough or responsible enough, but please make sure all gear is secure when heading to to woods! I've seen a ton of guys with stands almost about to fall out of a truck beds or poorly secured to a 4-wheeler looking like it could come off. Well this morning heading to the woods at 5:00am coming down 441 before madison I turned the corner doing about 55-60 and there sat a climber stand in the middle of the road. I had no where to go but over it. I got lucky being I drive an f-350 and I put it between the tires but it still made a pretty nasty noise as I smashed it into a hundred pices. I stopped to survey the damage (none thankfully) and pick up the debris so no one else would hit it. could have easily ruined my hunt/day, so please take an extra second to double check all your gear when hauling!

After I got back in the truck I had a pretty good laugh thinking about the reaction of that guy when he got ready to pack in!

One of my worst nightmares is getting to the lease and my four wheeler is gone from the trailer!

Once on the way to hunt I saw a large cooler in the middle of the road with food spilled all over the road.
