Respect Your Stand
For most deer hunters, both archers and gun hunters, treestands provide a great tactical advantage. But, they must be treated with respect.
Inspect your stands before the season. Replace lost or corroded parts and make sure that the stand is as functional when it was brand new. (Other than adding manufacturer-approved accessories, never modify a commercial stand.)
With permanent stands, check for rotten wood and natural loosening of the stand caused by the wind. Never climb into an old stand you find in the woods.
Whenever you are in an elevated stand, wear a properly adjusted safety belt. Wear the belt while climbing as well and properly "tie off" before shifting or settling into hunting position.
Climbing stands require agility and practice. Practice climbing with your stand, particularly a new type, before the season opens.
Do not climb when fatigued or on medication that makes you drowsy. Always make your stand positions known to others and leave word when you expect to be back.
