SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – The Division of Natural Resources is advising hunters to take safety precautions with tree stands as the two-week buck firearms season gets under way.
The season began Monday and runs through Dec. 6.
DNR law enforcement chief Col. Jerry Jenkins says in a news release that tree stand accidents are the most common cause of hunter injuries.
Hunters are advised to use a safety belt or harness when hunting from elevated tree stands. Climbing belts should be used when climbing up or down a tree.
The DNR says hunters also should make sure their guns are unloaded before raising or lowering the weapons with a haul line.
Permanent tree stands should be checked annually. Worn or weak lumber should be replaced.
