Saskatchewan Hunter Safety Course

 

Chapter Summary

Here are the important points you should take from this chapter.

FAS/FBH

  • Always wear a Fall Arrest System/Full Body Harness.

Read Instructions

  • Always read and carefully follow manufacturer's instructions when using a treestand and any treestand safety equipment.

Inspect

  • Inspect your treestand and FAS/FBH before each use.

Unsafe - use haul line!

  • Never climb a Treestand with your firearm or gear. Always use a haul line to get your firearm into the stand once you are settled.

 Permanent Treestand 

  • Never use a homemade or permanent treestand. They can be very unsafe, and the nails used to set up can cause damage to the tree and your safety equipment.

 Exceed Weight 

  • NEVER exceed the weight limit specified by the manufacturer. This includes the weight of you AND your equipment.

 Emergency Signal 

  • Always carry an emergency signaling device in case you fall and need to be rescued.

NOTICE: Please be aware that some of the images you see throughout the Saskatchewan Hunter Safety Course DO NOT reflect the legal hunting apparel requirements for all hunting scenarios. Chapter 6: Hunting Safety will cover the legal apparel requirements for Big Game Hunting in Saskatchewan. It is always the hunter’s responsibility to consult Saskatchewan’s annual Hunters’ and Trappers’ Guide to be aware of current hunting regulations before heading into the field.
