RALEIGH, N.C. (Sept. 18, 2020) – As deer season begins, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reminds hunters to always follow safety guidelines when hunting from a tree stand. “It’s of the utmost importance to always use a fall-arrest system and follow the tree stand manufacturer’s recommended safety procedures,” said Carissa Daniels, the Commission’s outreach manager. “These steps can go a long way in helping hunters stay safe while hunting with a tree stand.” The Commission’s hunter safety education campaign, Home From the Hunt, and the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation offer these tree stand safety recommendations: Prepping Your Tree Stand
