When crossing a fence while hunting, what should you do with your firearm?

  1. Leave it loaded and hang it on the fence

  2. Unload it and lay it on the ground

  3. Hand it to another person while you cross

  4. Unload and pass it to a companion or place it on the other side of the fence

The correct answer is: Unload and pass it to a companion or place it on the other side of the fence

When crossing a fence while hunting, it is important to unload your firearm and either hand it to a companion or place it on the other side of the fence. This is the safest option because it reduces the risk of an accidental discharge while navigating the fence. Leaving the firearm loaded or hanging it on the fence can be dangerous as it increases the chances of a mishap. Handing it to another person while crossing may result in a dropped firearm or miscommunication, which can lead to accidents. Unloading the firearm and either passing it to a companion or placing it on the other side of the fence ensures that the firearm is safe and secure during the crossing.
