When should a hunter wear a fall-arrest system?

  1. Only when hunting from a boat

  2. Every time they climb into a tree stand

  3. When tracking wounded game

  4. Only when hunting in bad weather

The correct answer is: Every time they climb into a tree stand

A hunter should wear a fall-arrest system whenever they are climbing into a tree stand. This is important because tree stands can be dangerous and accidents can happen, so it is important to wear a safety harness to prevent falls. Options A and D are incorrect because wearing a fall-arrest system should not be dependent on external factors such as hunting from a boat or bad weather. Option C is incorrect because tracking wounded game does not involve climbing into a tree stand. So, the safest and best practice is to always wear a fall-arrest system when using a treestand.
