What is the first step you should take when hauling your firearm into a tree stand?

Load the firearm
Unload the firearm and open the action
Keep the firearm loaded but with the safety on
Keep the firearm in a case

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and open the action

When hauling your firearm into a tree stand, it is important to first unload the firearm and open the action. This ensures that the firearm is not loaded and eliminates the risk of an accidental discharge. Keeping the firearm loaded with the safety on (option C) is not recommended as the safety can fail and it is never safe to carry a loaded firearm in any situation. Keeping the firearm in a case (option D) is also not recommended as this slows down the process of accessing the firearm quickly if needed. Loading the firearm (option A) before it is safely secured in the tree stand can also lead to an accidental discharge and is not the correct first step.
