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

  1. Unload it and leave it on the ground

  2. Carry it up with you to save time

  3. Unload it and use a haul line to bring it up after you have secured yourself

  4. Leave it loaded but on safe

The correct answer is: Unload it and use a haul line to bring it up after you have secured yourself

Before climbing a tree or climbing into a tree stand, it is important to unload your firearm and use a haul line to bring it up after you have secured yourself. This practice ensures that the firearm is not loaded during the potentially risky activity of climbing and helps prevent accidents such as unintentional discharges. Therefore, option C is the correct choice in this scenario.
