What is the safest way to ascend or descend a tree stand?

  1. Carrying your firearm in your hand

  2. Using a rope to raise and lower your unloaded firearm

  3. Keeping your firearm slung over your shoulder

  4. Climbing with your firearm loaded for unexpected shots

The correct answer is: Using a rope to raise and lower your unloaded firearm

Ascending or descending a tree stand can be dangerous if not done correctly. Carrying your firearm in your hand (A) can increase your risk of falling and potentially causing harm to yourself or others. Keeping your firearm slung over your shoulder (C) can also be dangerous as it can catch on branches or interfere with your balance. Climbing with your firearm loaded for unexpected shots (D) is extremely unsafe as it increases the risk of accidental discharge and injury. Using a rope to raise and lower your unloaded firearm (B) is the safest option as it keeps your hands free to hold onto the tree stand and maintain balance. It also prevents any potential accidents from occurring while climbing or descending.
