What is a safe carrying position while hunting?

Two-handed carry
Shoulder carry
Elbow carry
Trail carry

The correct answer is: Trail carry

A trail carry is considered a safe carrying position while hunting because it allows the firearm to be pointed in a safe direction. When carrying a firearm in a trail carry position, the firearm is held with the muzzle pointed towards the ground and the action open, providing a safe and controlled way to transport the firearm while walking to and from the hunting area. Options A, B, and C are not as safe as a trail carry. The two-handed carry, shoulder carry, and elbow carry positions may inadvertently point the firearm in an unsafe direction, increasing the risk of accidents. It is important to always prioritize safety when handling firearms, and choosing the correct carrying position is crucial to ensuring a safe hunting experience.
