This study compared hunter education instructors' (HEI) (n = 806) and deer hunters' (DH) (n = 396) views of hunting safety practices, with an emphasis on hunting from elevated stands. Data were obtained from convenience samples of both groups. HEI self-reported better safety practices than DH on 9 of 14 survey items. A high percentage of both groups (HEI = 14%, DH = 32%), however, reported wearing a fall-arrest device less than 10% of time. Questions regarding the use of a fall arrest during ascending and descending were significantly different between groups (χ2 = 67.75, p < .001). However, both HEI and DH (HEI = ∼41%, DH = ∼68%,) reported having used a fall-arrest device (ascending and descending) less than 10% of the time. Employing engineering controls in addition to administrative safety controls may further enhance elevated stand safety
