What should you do before climbing into or out of a tree stand?

  1. Unload your firearm

  2. Notify someone of your location

  3. Take a selfie and post it online

  4. Make sure your safety harness is loosened

The correct answer is: Unload your firearm

Before climbing into or out of a tree stand, it is important to unload your firearm for safety purposes. This is because any sudden movements or unexpected events while climbing can cause the firearm to accidentally discharge. Additionally, it is important to notify someone of your location in case of any emergencies or accidents while in the tree stand. Taking a selfie and posting it online is not necessary and can distract from safety precautions. Making sure your safety harness is loosened is also not necessary and can pose a potential danger while climbing.
