As firearm deer season opens across Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, Aspirus Health reminds hunters to make safety a top priority, especially when it comes to tree stands.
“You’re much more likely to get injured from a fall than a gunshot wound,” says Michael Clark, MD, EMS Medical Director with Aspirus MedEvac.
Joseph Mulrooney, Recreation Warden with the Wisconsin DNR, adds, “Every year we have dozens of people falling out of trees, which is why we highly recommend staying connected to the tree with a tree strap.”
