This picture should be enough to remind us all of what not using a safety belt can cost us. This is my wife and son and they are the reason I put up with the bulky, noisy, contraptions that could cost me a deer. I think the cost is worth the price. If I had to choose between a B&C buck and going home to my family at night I think the choice would be obvious. Deer are grand wonderful things but the memory of that buck will be overshadowed by first steps, first words, school, sports and a thousand other memories you will make with your family. Falling may not cost you your life but it will change how you live it. Daily pain, unpaid bills, and not being able to enjoy your life are surely a part of any bad fall from a stand. So before you climb in strap in and make sure you return to those who love you the same man that left.
