Before climbing into a tree stand, what safety step should be taken?

  1. Loading your firearm

  2. Telling someone your exact hunting location

  3. Putting on a harness

  4. Checking the weather

The correct answer is: Putting on a harness

Before climbing into a tree stand, it is essential to ensure your safety by putting on a harness. A harness will help protect you in case of a fall from the tree stand. It is a crucial safety measure that should always be taken when hunting from an elevated position. Option A is incorrect because loading your firearm before climbing into the tree stand can be dangerous and is not a recommended safety step. Option B, telling someone your exact hunting location, is a good safety practice but is not directly related to the immediate safety of climbing into the tree stand. Option D, checking the weather, is important for planning your hunt but is not a direct safety step for climbing into the tree stand. Therefore, the correct answer is C, putting on a harness, to ensure your safety while hunting from an elevated position.
