Which of the following treestands is considered unsafe and should never be used by hunters?

  1. Fixed or hang-on stand

  2. Permanent stand

  3. Ladder stand

  4. Tower stand

The correct answer is: Permanent stand

Permanent stands are stationary structures that are built and left in place for extended periods of time. These stands are dangerous because they can become weathered and weakened over time, making them unstable. In addition, they may not be securely attached to the tree and are more prone to falling or collapsing. Fixed or hang-on stands, ladder stands, and tower stands can all be used safely when proper installation and safety precautions are followed.
