Safety belt.
Don't move.
Hopefully you have practiced shooting down.
Oh yea, Make sure your stand is safe.
safty is always frist
on top of buckhunter is wind direction +1 for you
dont fall. make sure you are tied off and if you do fall make sure you can get either down or up. practice shooting down its harder than you think
Looks like we all agree that you're first concern is to be safe and tie off. If you're using a climber, use the safety belt as you climb and descend, too. Bring some wind indicator - The air can do some strange things up there.
Safety, wind direction, slow movements when you need to make them, and practice shooting from an elevated position...yup I think that pretty much sums things up. +1 for all!
it is a standard stand. u use a ladder to get up so i can get up and down in a flash
How high you are does not matter. It is gonna hurt from 6 high all the way up to 20+ feet high. Be comfortable. The more comfortable you are the less you move around.
the things I think about when hunting a tree stand is wind direction, angle of shot, length of shot, movement and camouflage and how I can raise my gun or draw my bow the easiest and the quietest with minimal movement.
