What is a safe practice when climbing a tree stand?

  1. Climb with your firearm on your back

  2. Use a fall-arrest system (FAS)

  3. Climb as quickly as possible

  4. Jump down from the last few feet to save time

The correct answer is: Use a fall-arrest system (FAS)

When climbing a tree stand, using a fall-arrest system (FAS) is crucial for safety. This system helps prevent falls and injuries by securing you to the tree at all times while climbing or sitting in the stand. It is essential to prioritize safety while hunting, and using a fall-arrest system greatly reduces the risk of accidents when climbing up or down from a tree stand. The other options are not safe practices when climbing a tree stand. Carrying a firearm on your back can be dangerous as it can get caught on branches or lead to accidental discharges. Climbing quickly increases the risk of slipping or falling, which can result in injuries. Jumping down from the last few feet of a tree stand is extremely unsafe and can lead to severe injuries. Remember, safety should always be the top priority when engaging in hunting activities.
