Just a reminder. Never, never, never pull a loaded gun up to your stand. Always, always only load it after you pull it up. I hunt from ladder stands with regular gun, muzzleloader, and crossbow. I don't load my .30-06 until I have it safely in the stand. I load the powder and bullet in my muzzleloader on the ground but don't put a primer on it till after I pull it up. I cock my crossbow on the ground but don't load a bolt (arrow) in till after pulling it up.

I used to go to church with a fellow who was pulling his loaded rifle up to his stand. It went off and shot him in the hand. At that he was fortunate, it could have been his head.
