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

Climbing with your firearm on your back
Using a haul line for your firearm
Jumping from the stand
Climbing with your firearm in your hands

The correct answer is: Using a haul line for your firearm

Using a haul line for your firearm is the safest way to ascend or descend a tree stand because it keeps your hands free for maintaining a secure grip on the ladder or steps. Climbing with your firearm on your back or in your hands can increase the risk of an accidental discharge or losing control while climbing. Jumping from the stand is extremely dangerous and can result in serious injuries. Ultimately, using a haul line for your firearm is the recommended method to ensure a safe and secure ascent or descent from a tree stand.
