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

Leave it loaded but have the safety on
Carry it with you while crossing
Unload it and lay it down or hand it to a companion
Keep it slung over your shoulder

The correct answer is: Unload it and lay it down or hand it to a companion

When crossing a fence while hunting, it is crucial to prioritize safety. One of the safest practices is to unload your firearm and either lay it down or hand it to a companion before crossing the fence. This helps prevent accidental discharges while navigating the obstacle. Carrying a loaded firearm with the safety on or keeping it slung over your shoulder can increase the risk of an unintentional discharge, potentially leading to a dangerous situation. Therefore, the best course of action is to unload the firearm and ensure it is secure before crossing the fence.
