I posted this last fall after a near miss w/ lightening, and figured it's worth bringing up again. If you can hear thunder, YOU CAN GET STRUCK BY LIGHTENING
I knew better having a background in meteorology. However, the urge to press on the hunt overcame common sense. A bolt of lightening struck a tree less than 50yds from my treestand. The sun was out, but I could hear thunder. I thought to myself, If it gets any closer, I'm getting down. Well, It got closer all right. Please learn from my near fatal mistake last year, and don't do what I did. The hunt is not worth your life.
