What should you do before climbing a tree stand with a firearm?

  1. Load the firearm

  2. Use a haul line to lift the unloaded firearm

  3. Climb with the firearm on your back

  4. Ensure the safety is off

The correct answer is: Use a haul line to lift the unloaded firearm

Before climbing a tree stand with a firearm, it is crucial to use a haul line to lift the unloaded firearm. This option is the correct choice because it helps prevent any accidental discharge of the firearm while climbing. By lifting the firearm with a haul line, you ensure that the gun remains unloaded and safe until you are securely positioned in the tree stand. This practice also minimizes any risks associated with carrying a loaded firearm while climbing and helps to maintain a safe environment for both yourself and others.
