Understand the Risk and Responsibility

Elevated hunting is a dangerous activity. It is crucial—whether you are ascending, hunting in, or descending a tree—that you are always following safety procedures to prevent falls and injuries. During saddle hunting, if you are not using your lineman belt or tether properly, you are increasing your risk of serious injury or even death. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have followed all safety instructions and keep yourself safe while hunting from a tree.
