As deer season approaches, hunters are encouraged to prioritize safety measures in the woods. Experts recommend inspecting tree stands, safety harnesses, and other gear to ensure they are in good condition.
Hunters should follow manufacturer instructions and always wear a safety harness when climbing or hunting from an elevated stand. Taking extra time to prepare can help prevent accidents and keep hunters safe in the field.
The Missouri Department of Wildlife Resources suggests reviewing additional tree stand safety tips available on their website.
