Which of the following is a safe practice when climbing a tree stand?

  1. Keeping the firearm loaded while climbing

  2. Using a haul line to bring up your gun or bow

  3. Climbing with your equipment

  4. Not using a safety harness

The correct answer is: Using a haul line to bring up your gun or bow

Climbing a tree stand with your equipment is not a safe practice as it can make you unstable and increase your risk of falling. Keeping a firearm loaded while climbing can lead to an accidental discharge and potentially severe injuries. Not using a safety harness is also a dangerous choice as it does not provide protection in the event of a fall. Using a haul line to bring up your gun or bow is the safest option as it allows both of your hands to be free to climb and also prevents any potential accidents while hauling up gear.
