What should you do with your firearm before climbing into or out of a treestand?

  1. Keep it loaded but on safety

  2. Carry it in your hands

  3. Unload it and use a haul line

  4. Leave it on the ground until you're situated

The correct answer is: Unload it and use a haul line

Before climbing into or out of a treestand, it is crucial to unload the firearm and use a haul line to bring it up or down with you. This practice helps prevent accidents such as accidental discharges or dropping the firearm. Keeping the firearm loaded or carrying it in your hands can be dangerous and increase the risk of a mishap. Leaving the firearm on the ground until you are situated is also not recommended as it can be a safety hazard to others who may come across it. Therefore, the best course of action is to unload the firearm and use a haul line while climbing into or out of a treestand.
